Sequential high-speed images have captured how dielectric breakdown manifests in polymethyl methacrylate. The images have led researchers to uncover an entirely new mode of discharge propagation, which they describe as the ‘fastest physical phenomena observed visually in a solid-state material’. Powerful electric fields can cause dielectric materials like polymethyl methacrylate to breakdown and suddenly become […]
