It uses as vacuum to insulate the inside from the outside. The vacuum reduces the different ways heat can be dissipated; mainly conduction and convection. Very importantly, a Thermos bottle, scientifically called a "Dewar's flask," incorporates a radiant barrier that directs radiant heat back into the hot liquid in the bottle. You can usually see the radiant barrier when the flask incorporates a glass liner, the barrier is the shiny material across the vacuum from the glass. The three ways heat can move are conduction, (through a solid), convection, (through a gas or liquid), and radiation, (through a gas or vacuum). The Dewar's flask addresses all three of the means of heat transfer, that is why it is so efficient.

that is true trust me
