A creator known as Electron Impressions caught the attention of the scientific community by using a particle accelerator to create something unprecedented, a fully three-dimensional Langenberg figure formed inside a cylindrical acrylic tube.

The process begins with high energy electrons fired by a linear accelerator, these electrons penetrate the acrylic, an insulating material, and deposit electrical charge inside, when that charge is suddenly released, dielectric breakdown occurs, the material fractures internally, creating branching lightning-like patterns.
