Mazer (drinking Vessel)
A mazer is a special type of wooden drinking vessel, a wide cup or shallow bowl without handles, with a broad flat foot and a knob or boss in the centre of the inside, known technically as the print or boss. They vary from simple pieces all in wood to those ornamented with metalwork, often in silver or silver-gilt. They use dense impervious woods such as maple, beech and walnut wood. They are a north European medieval tradition, mostly made from the 11th (or earlier) to the 16th centuries. Etymology A form of the word ''mazer'' may have existed in Old English, but the evidence for this is slight. (The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' records speculation, for example, that the word occurs in the place-name '' Maserfield'' whose etymology is, however, uncertain.) The modern English word instead derived from Middle English ''mazer'' (and its variant spellings); this word was borrowed from Anglo-Norman, a dialect of Old French. Middle English or Anglo-Norman also gave the word to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Maser
A maser (, an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves through amplification by stimulated emission. The first maser was built by Charles H. Townes, James P. Gordon, and Herbert J. Zeiger at Columbia University in 1953. Townes, Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov were awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for theoretical work leading to the maser. Masers are also used as the timekeeping device in atomic clocks, and as extremely low-noise microwave amplifiers in radio telescopes and deep-space spacecraft communication ground stations. Modern masers can be designed to generate electromagnetic waves at not only microwave frequencies but also radio and infrared frequencies. For this reason, Townes suggested replacing ''microwave'' with the word ''molecular'' as the first word in the acronym ''maser''. The laser works by the same principle as the maser but produces higher frequency ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
