Athermic

/eɪˈθɜːmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Not involving or producing heat; relating to processes or substances that do not generate or conduct thermal energy.

Etymology

From Greek a- (not) + thermē (heat) + -ic (adjective suffix), a scientific term describing the absence of thermal phenomena.

Kelly Says

In physics and chemistry, 'athermic' describes reactions that occur without heat—they're temperature-neutral, which is actually quite rare and valuable in industrial and laboratory applications.
