Conduction

/kənˈdʌkʃən/noun
ELI5 mode

Conduction is the transfer of heat, electricity, or sound through a material or from one part of a substance to another via direct molecular interaction, without any bulk movement of the material itself. This process is fundamental in physics and engineering, where it enables everything from household wiring to advanced thermal regulation in spacecraft, but it's also a key factor in natural phenomena like how your coffee mug warms your hands.
