Ever seen that funny experiment where you cut up a grape, put it in a microwave and observe the plasma sparks between the two halves?
Physicists have figured out that you can actually manufacture a microwave resonator to enhance GHz microwave frequencies using grapes - in a way that improves precise quantum sensing experiments!
Science rules!

The results are published in a real peer-reviewed physics journal: https://journals.aps.org/prapplied/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.22.064078
@ditsch42 surgery on grapes -> microwaves on grapes -> quantum grapes.
Wondering what future grape science will bring. GrapeAI?
@ditsch42 that looks like serious abuse of SMA connectors.
When it all goes wrong they could be sour grapes
@ditsch42 If I remember correctly, researchers destroyed 15 microwaves conducting experiments.
