It sounds like one of the easiest experiments possible: Take two cups of water: one hot, one cold. Place both in a freezer and note which one freezes first. Common sense suggests that the colder water ...

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 ...

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 ...

Not every scoop of ice cream can be described as “fateful.” But a batch of ice cream Erasto Mpemba made as a teenager in Tanzania in 1963 made waves in physics that are still being felt nearly 60 ...
