Extending the Mpemba effect to the underdamped realm
Shahaf Aharony Shapira, Gene Chen, Marija Vucelja +1
The paper investigates whether the Mpemba effect—where a hotter system cools faster than a colder one—occurs in underdamped (inertial) regimes, showing it can persist for moderate…

Speedups in nonequilibrium thermal relaxation: Mpemba and related effects
Gianluca Teza, John Bechhoefer, Antonio Lasanta +2
Most of our intuition about the behavior of physical systems is shaped by observations at or near thermal equilibrium. However, even a thermal quench can lead to states far from th…
