On explaining weird applications of something in a scientific/technical context
I'm going to write a paper on weird and unusual applications of tool A. Is there any appropriate term/single word or idiomatic phrase to point to such odd applications in the scientific context?
Specifically, the option is needed for the title:
On ------ applications of "A".

I would use the word unconventional. According to The Free Dictionary it means:
Not adhering to convention; out of the ordinary.
Not conforming to accepted rules or standards,
Consequently, your title would become:
On unconventional applications of "A".
