Boundraith, the Mismatched Border Wraith Mug
Kapitza resistance: heat crossing a solid–liquid-helium boundary meets a thermal boundary resistance RK ∝ T⁻³ (acoustic mismatch).
The joke: Phonons mismatch at interfaces; cryo people sinter silver to fight it. Distinct from KAPITZADIRAC (live sticker). The slogan on the mug reads EVEN HEAT HESITATES AT THE BOUNDARY.
