Mpemba Effect
Recently, scientists have, for the first time, developed supercomputer-powered simulations that successfully reproduce the Mpemba effect, a long-standing paradox in which hotter water freezes faster than colder water, which had eluded scientific explanation for decades.
- The study was carried out by researchers from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), using advanced supercomputing techniques to simulate ice formation at the molecular level.
- The Mpemba effect takes its name from Erasto Mpemba, who rediscovered the phenomenon in the 20th century, though it was first noted much earlier by Aristotle, who observed that previously heated water can freeze more quickly. ....
