We combine the cryogenically measured value of the direct current (DC) conductivity of iron with the Drude theory of electrical conduction of metals to determine a complex dielectric function relevant under interstellar and intergalactic conditions. We use this dielectric function to calculate the mass absorption coefficient of randomly oriented iron whiskers with radii 0.01 micrometer and of various lengths. Some astrophysical and cosmological implications are explored.
