How Microwaving Grapes Makes Plasma

Published 1 day ago in Science. Submitted by sux2bu

A bisected grape in the microwave makes plasma. But how does it work? A grape is the right size and refractive index to trap microwaves inside it. When you place two (or two halves) close together the fields interact with each other creating a maximum of electromagnetic energy wh…
