The process that transfers heat from one object to another without transferring matter is **conduction**.
Conduction occurs when heat is transferred through a material without the movement of the material itself, typically occurring in solids where particles are closely packed together. Insulation, on the other hand, refers to materials that reduce the rate of heat transfer, while thermal expansion describes the increase in volume of a material as it heats up.
