Researchers from the University of Nottingham  and from the Lashkarev Institute of Semiconductor Physics in the Ukraine, have produced a new type of acoustic laser device called a Saser. It’s a sonic equivalent to the laser and produces an intense beam of uniform sound waves on a nano scale. In addition to having the paper on their research published in the Physics Journal, the team has also won a grant of £636,000 from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to develop Saser technology over the next four years.
