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 ...

Researchers in Imperial College London's Department of Materials have developed a new portable maser that can fit the size of a shoebox.

For instance, artificial quantum systems based on superconducting circuits can amplify and detect single microwave patterns, ... The maser amplifier’s gain at 30 K (left) and 78 K ...

Up or down: the new Floquet maser relies on the relative alignments of nuclear spins and an applied magnetic field. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/SIM VA) A new type of maser made from periodically driven ...
