Heat flux inhibition by microinstabilities in hot and dense plasmas is investigated. Because of the anisotropy induced by the temperature gradient, Weibel‐like low frequency electromagnetic modes become unstable. The chaotic magnetic field thus generated effectively reduces the electron mean‐free‐path. Saturation of these instabilities is expected from mode‐mode couplings. With the estimated saturation level, the mean‐free‐path is self‐consistently found to be smaller than the typical gradient length L, thus keeping the heat flux below the free streaming value, with a reduction factor e′= (c/Lωp)1/3.
