The laser has been wildly successful ... by stimulated emission of radiation and dubbed his device a ‘maser’. It used a stream of ammonia gas pumped through a narrow slit and through an ...

He came across a decade-old publication by Japanese researchers suggesting that when the electrons in pentacene are excited by a laser, they configure such that the molecule could work as a maser ...

Well, the maser was a very exciting field ... So we decided we wouldn't try to build a laser first, we would just publish the idea. We were hence very quiet about it until we published the ...

Also on display there is an early helium-neon laser, a technology Townes and his brother-in-law Arthur Schawlow discovered, building on the idea of the maser. Townes was back at Bell Labs then as ...

The implications of this new technology are hard to imagine. Fifty years ago, the laser was dubbed the solution in search of a problem. Now that mantle has passed to the maser. "When lasers were ...

Researchers at Princeton University have created a maser no bigger than a grain of rice. Courtesy of Jason Petta, Department of Physics Researchers say they have built a microwave laser no bigger ...

The tiny microwave laser, or "maser," is a demonstration of the fundamental interactions between light and moving electrons. The researchers built the device — which uses about one-billionth the ...

Did you know, back in the day, the power of the first laser (after the maser) was measured in Gillettes? Yes, you heard me correctly. Gillette razor blades. So, the number of Gillette razor blades ...

A maser is essentially a microwave version of the laser. It preceded the laser and was also crucial to its development. While the laser has revolutionized technology from telecommunications to ...

The system creates a maser, the microwave equivalent of a laser. It is used to amplify weak microwave and radio signals.
