Is there any scenario in which a comma is used right after the word which?

For example, is this sentence correctly written as is — or not?

The sensitivity to material AAA, which, in fact, is sensitivity to molecular forces, decreases at lower temperatures.

I searched for my question, but could not find relevant content.

  • It is not possible to answer comma questions that ask whether they are "correct". All we can say is that one style guide or another, or one stylist or another, does or does not recommend that they be used or omitted. Related: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. – tchrist Jul 24 '21 at 18:10

    It's not uncommon for "which" to be followed by a "parenthetical" phrase. Such phrases are typically set off by commas. – Hot Licks Jul 24 '21 at 18:50
