A popular physics trick is microwaving a grape to create plasma. A Paper which came out in 2019 explains this phenomenon in their experiment using hydro-gel water beads. As it turns out, its due to the high dielectric constant of water allowing the microwaves to form a resonance. Pretty fun huh? If you would like to learn more about this experiment you could check out the Hamza K. Khattak paper below.
