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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
