nonconducting , also: nonconductive

"It doesn't mind going through nonconducting walls, but a nice, fat ground.

The people have to expose themselves naked on nonconducting pads.

They make their chainmail out of the nonconducting stuff, like a mirror doesn't conduct light.

Finally, the slices are cooked in a nonconducting oven with two drying zones.

The localised states form the nonconducting regions in the electric quantum limit.

The nonconducting alloy from Englor had also been thoroughly tested.

The other wire came free from the wall socket with the aid of a nonconducting ruler he found in his desk.

Working by his small but powerful pocket flashlight, Tom pulled out nonconducting tools from a storage locker.

Corrosion had coated them with nonconducting scale in so many places that over half of the circuits were dead.

At about 390 degrees Fahrenheit it becomes permanently nonconducting, like a blown fuse.

Except for the nonconducting qualities of the cloth, the flesh would already have been broiled on their bones.

Their bodies were suddenly bright against the dark plate of nonconducting material, very precious on a planet where everything conducts.

Extra current is carried by the conducting parts to offset the lack in the nonconducting ones, and the Hall resistance remains constant.

To get around that problem, AT&T has used nonconducting plastic shields in areas where lightning is common.

So they spun it to be nonconducting."

The subjects laid in the supine position on a nonconducting surface with limbs abducted approximately 30 from the body.

Circuits now use silicon as a transistor because it can easily be switched between conducting and nonconducting states.

The magnetic flow meter requires a conducting fluid and a nonconducting pipe liner.

They had left their nonconducting mail shirts behind and thus would be unprotected from the savage tendrils of floss.

It distinguished between conducting metals and nonconducting insulators.

In interband absorption, the electron is being raised from a valence (nonconducting) band to a conducting one.

They have subsequently tried other materials, including conducting and nonconducting polymers, Dr. Whitman said.

These nonconducting materials (dielectrics) are used for a carpet cloak, which serves as an optical cloaking device.

Particles are spherical, nonconducting, and monodispersed.

"Basically you make the polymer nonconducting by passing a lot of current through it," Dr. Forrest said of the design.
