Is there a magnetic or electrical or some other type of non-physical field that would block heat transfer?

I'm just curious if someone can point me in the direction of research that indicates a non-phyiscal field would have the ability to insulate or block heat from traveling through it. Thanks!|||I don't think it is possible. Even a vacuum allows radiation.





There are really only 4 basic forces, gravity, electromagnetic, weak nuclear and strong nuclear.|||Not as far as I am aware but something which comes almost opposite is magnetohyrodynamics. This is where heat passing through two plates as for example from a chimney can create an electrical field which can in turn create a current and hence power. Do not get 'excited' about solving the world fuel crisis though since the power is low.


Also a magnetic field can increase the temperature of a flame.
