Physicists May Have Finally Figured Out Why Pickles Glow
Physicists say they may have explained why pickles emit a glow when exposed to high voltage, a classic classroom demonstration in which electricity passing through a pickle produces a bright yellow-green light. The proposed explanation concerns how sodium ions behave as current flows through the brine-soaked cucumber, according to ScienceAlert.
Why now: New physics research offers an explanation for a well-known but long-debated demonstration effect.
