"The Mpemba effect—the counterintuitive phenomenon where a hotter system cools faster than a colder one—has fascinated ...

The strong Mpemba effect (sME) Relaxation describes the process of a system returning to its equilibrium or steady state.

Quantum Mpemba effect hints at faster quantum computers. This work, which is described in Nature Communications, marks the first experimental realization of the quantum strong Mpemba effect.According ...

Erasto Mpemba’s observations initiated decades of research into the Mpemba effect: whether a liquid (typically water) which is initially hot can freeze faster than the same liquid which begins cold.

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 ...

In the latest work, Hayakawa and his Kyoto University colleague Amit Kumar Chatterjee, together with Satoshi Takada of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, defined the Mpemba effect in ...

It was rediscovered by Tanzanian student Erastus Mpemba in 1963. It happened when he was making ice cream in one of his culinary classes. He asked a local physics teacher to explain, why the hot ice ...

The Mpemba effect is best known as a perplexing phenomenon, where hot water freezes faster than cold water. Observations of the counter-intuitive effect date back to Aristotle who, over 2,000 ...
