While it has become a word, laser used to be an acronym: “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation”. But there is an even older technology called a maser, which is the ...
Everyone has heard of lasers, but hardly anyone outside of a physics lab or a science fiction novel has heard of a maser. Despite the fact that it was the precursor of the laser, the maser has been ...
Charles Townes played a crucial role in the invention and realization of the first masers and lasers, for which he shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics. Nature Materials speaks to him about his ...
A team of physicists has published a paper detailing how it developed the first ever maser to work at room temperature with the help of a homebaked crystal and a laser bought on eBay. Masers ...
Scientists have used the same technology that brought us time crystals to create a room-temperature maser—a microwave laser—that overcomes many of masers’ past problems. Masers predate lasers. They’re ...
BOSTON AND WASHINGTON — Jim Maser is leaving rocket start- up Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) to lead Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, according to industry officials. Maser will replace ...
