The energy available within a domestic microwave oven can be harnessed in many ways to make inorganic and organic materials. In an initial experiment it has been discovered that ruthenium dioxide powders exposed to microwave energy in a conventional domestic oven can self assemble into a 3 dimensional micro-wire spiral structure. This project will focus on examining the nature of these spirals using a variety of microscopic techniques to determine whether this is a generic route to creating novel structures for other oxide materials with similar dielectric properties. Such structured materials will be likely to have applications in catalysis and in electrical components for novel power sources. It is also possible that the product of irradiation with microwaves is metallic in which case there is an option for winning rare metals from their ores in a unique manner.

家用微波炉中的可用能量可以通过多种方式利用来制造无机和有机材料。在最初的实验中，已经发现在常规家用炉中暴露于微波能量的二氧化钌粉末可以自组装成三维微线螺旋结构。该项目将专注于使用各种显微技术来检查这些螺旋的性质，以确定这是否是为具有类似介电特性的其他氧化物材料创建新结构的通用途径。这种结构化材料很可能在催化和新型电源的电子元件中有应用。微波辐照的产物也可能是金属的，在这种情况下，可以选择以独特的方式从矿石中提取稀有金属。
