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 they required high magnetic fields and difficult cooling schemes.

A report in Nature outlines a far simpler version using a crystalline material and no cooling or magnets.

Reminds me of a story I wrote several years ago....



I'll never have another idea.

I swear.

I swear by everything I've been through.

I'll never have another idea as long as I live.
