Results of heat pulse experiments in various artificial and natural materials are reported in this paper. The experiments are performed at room temperature with macroscopic samples. It is shown that temperature evolution does not follow Fourier's law but is well explained by the Guyer-Krumhansl equation. The observations confirm the ability of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to formulate universal constitutive relations for thermomechanical processes.
