Indian researchers found that subjecting rubies to industrial microwave heat improved their color, clarity, and luster by eliminating impurities and irregularities in their molecular structure. Microwave heating is faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than other heating methods. NASA uses microwave signals to communicate with spacecraft. The microwave was invented by Percy Spencer, who accidentally […]
