The Mpemba effect sounds like it should be easy to debunk: hot water freezing faster than cold water? That's backwards. But ...

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 ...

Heating up Physicists have shown that a colder trapped-ion qubit can warm-up faster than a hotter qubit. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Evgenia-Fux) The inverse Mpemba ...

Kyoto, Japan -- Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Aristotle may have been the first to tackle this question that later became known as the Mpemba effect. This phenomenon originally ...

Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? On its face this idea seems like it should be ridiculously simple to test, and even easier to intuit, but this question has in fact had physicists arguing ...

The Mpemba effect is originally referred to the non-monotonic initial temperature dependence of the freezing start time, but it has been observed in various systems -- including colloids -- and has ...

Then the experiment #3 proceeds to demonstrate mpemba effect on water that froze through the frost in the fridge. Then the experiment #8 had shown that if you use different waters, you can make mpemba ...

The question I have is - under which conditions would you say that the experiment shows the reasoning wrong, instead of experiment itself having been 'done wrong'? For example - if you do something as ...

Thirteen-year-old Erasto Mpemba was in high school when he observed that a mixture of milk and sugar froze faster if placed in a freezer while it was hot. This happened in 1963 in what is now Tanzania ...

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 ...
