They discovered a first order phase transition, a discontinuity, in liquid hydrogen between a molecular state with low conductivity and a highly conductive atomic state.

他们发现了一个不连续的一级相变，这个相变是在液态氢低电导率的分子态和高电导率的原子态之间。

There were just two problems: it had a lower energy-density than cobalt oxide and suffered from low conductivity, limiting the rate at which energy could be delivered and stored by the battery.

只是存在两个问题：它的储能比钴氧化物要低，而且导电率也较低，这限制了电池释放和存储能量的速度。

Water is considered fresh when its low conductivity makes the interpretation of resistivity logs difficult.

当地层水电阻率低而使电阻率测井解释困难时，便认为是淡水。

The second desideratum, of low thermal and high electrical conductivity, was achieved by dividing the bismuth telluride into pellets a few nanometres across.

You see, it's been difficult for OLED builders to secure enough electrical conductivity of ITO in a low-temperature process, and this new methodology is perfectly suited for the coating method (which makes it ripe for printing).

They often have interesting properties, such as poor heat conductivity (which makes them good insulators) and low friction (which makes them slippery).
