Ummm...I beg to differ, aluminum is one of the best and the one used in high-voltage, long distance electrical lines due to the low cost and light weight of aluminum.

I use a version of this when roasting chicken breasts with a rub that will burn. After lining the pan with foil, I twist a foil rope, make it into a coil and place the breasts on top. The rub, BTW (actually more of a sprinkle), is 1-2 TBS of brown sugar mixed with 1-3 tsps of dry Italian dressing mix. Adjust to taste. roast/bake as usual. Throw away liner and coil...no messy. burnt residue to clean.
Oh, I also use foil to make a spatter shield around the pot when reducing a sauce, like spaghetti sauce that cooks for a few hours. Just take a length of foil or 2, crease and tear into 2” wide strips. crimp over the pot edge, joining as needed and make sure it will withstand the frequent stirrings. Again, discard after use. Spatter is reduced considerably. Same principle to prevent a pie crust edge from overbaking....crease the 2” length of foil and place over crust edge after 15 minutes.

It also makes a nice shim for precision alignment, given its fairly precise .001” thickness. Also, it can be used to tell when a milling cutter is within .001” of the workpiece edge.

“thermal maybe - electrical not so much”
Check your data.
Aluminum is #4 behind silver, copper and gold. No other metals are even close to those four.

Im not sure I would want to attempt such vigorous activity in that suit. Buddy Ebsen claimed that the original suit was made of stovepipe. He claimed to have nearly castrated himself, in the period pre aluminium powder fiasco, by attempting a dance step to show his range of motion for the director.

For tuning, you need a variable capacitor made with multiple plates of aluminum separated by air gaps. Same principal though. I’ve also glued aluminum foil down to a printed circuit board as a quick repair.
