Grapes Explode In The Microwave. Yes, if you microwave a grape it can explode in a violent, dangerous fireball in your microwave oven. From the grape erupts a small plasma fireball — a hot mixture of electrons and electrically charged atoms, or ions. In a plethora of internet videos, kitchen scientists have cut a grape almost in half—leaving just a strip of skin connecting the two sides—and stuck it in the microwave. And there are dozens of youtube videos and scientists who have. Now, physicists think they know why this happens. Why does a grape ignite a fireball made out of the same material as the sun? Heat the fruit in a microwave for a few seconds. When a grape is cut nearly perfectly in half, but a thin bridge of grape skin is left connecting them, a trip into the microwave will. They figured out a way to microwave the grape and its replicas right to the brink of plasma formation, but never letting the sparks actually fly.
