"a metallic material called θ-phase tantalum nitride"

> In the form of tantalum nitride that Hu and his colleagues studied, the atomic structure of the crystal lattice lets phonons travel unusually long distances with minimal interference.

Sort of like a thermal (phonon) superconductor.. Maybe there's a true thermal superconductor out there to be discovered...

    it's called a vacume, and honestly I believe that for heat, thats it, given it's role in physics....
