But it has had little technological impact compared with the laser, in large part because of inconvenience: masers typically require vacuum and/or low-temperature operating conditions. Overcoming these obstacles would pave the way for significant maser-based innovations, including drastically more sensitive measurements across a range of scientific disciplines, from molecular biology to radio astronomy. And, if the history of the laser is any indication, applications not yet dreamt of. Mark Oxborrow, Jonathan Breeze and Neil Alford have now developed a solid-state room-temperature maser, based on an organic molecular crystal, that should enhance the potential of the maser as a tool for science and technology.
