Researchers from Trinity College Dublin have just described the existence of the paradoxical Mpemba effect within quantum systems. Initially investigating out of pure curiosity, the discovery has ...

Why does hot water sometimes freeze faster than cold? This counterintuitive phenomenon, known as the Mpemba effect, has intrigued scientists for decades. In the classical world, it challenges common ...

Researchers have just described the existence of the paradoxical Mpemba effect within quantum systems. Initially investigating out of pure curiosity, the discovery has bridged the gap between ...

The Mpemba effect is an intriguing physical phenomenon that causes some systems to cool faster when they are hot than when ...

The Mpemba effect, in which hot systems cool faster than cold ones under the same conditions, was first described by Aristotle more than 2,000 years ago. In 1963 it was rediscovered by Tanzanian ...
