Hot water sometimes freezes faster than cold—this paradox is known as the Mpemba effect. Now quantum physicists have turned it into a working tool: starting from a hot state, nanoprobes measure temperature more accurately and quickly than any equilibrium methods.
🎯 The Mpemba effect remains a mystery: scientists cannot unequivocally explain it. Hypotheses include evaporation, convection, and supercooling.
