Fun Fact! Grapes will explode if you put them in microwave
Here's a fun (and potentially hazardous) science experiment: If you split a grape almost in half and microwave it, it will explode into a fireball of plasma and lighting. Microwaves generate heat by using microwave radiation, according to scientists. When you microwave "nothing" — in this case, a very small grape that doesn't absorb enough power — the electromagnetic waves have nothing to work on and become concentrated.
