Diamonds are often regarded as a woman’s best friend, but these prized possessions could soon help in deep space exploration. University of New South Wales (UNSW) quantum experts have developed a ...

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 ...

MASER stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Devices based on this process and known by the same acronym were developed by scientists more than 50 years ago, before ...

British researchers have, for the first time, built a prototype solid-state maser that works at room temperature, with no permanent applied magnetic field. Masers, which do the same thing with ...

A scientist from Northumbria University has been awarded almost half a million pounds to develop a new technology which could transform deep-space communication, radio astronomy, medical imaging and ...

Nature – The invention of the laser has resulted in many innovations, and the device has become ubiquitous. However, the maser, which amplifies microwave radiation rather than visible light, has not ...

Princeton University researchers have built a rice grain-sized laser powered by single electrons tunneling through artificial atoms known as quantum dots. The tiny microwave laser, or "maser," is a ...

You might have heard about lasers – devices that emit light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The term laser, in fact, is an ...

Scientists demonstrate, for the time, a solid-state MASER capable of operating at room temperature, paving the way for its widespread adoption. MASER stands for Microwave Amplification by Stimulated ...

Researchers have shown off a microwave-emitting version of the laser, called a maser, that works at room temperature. Masers were invented before the laser, but have languished in obscurity because ...
