Laser
By Nick Taylor
The Inventor, the Nobel Laureate and the 30-year Patent War. rrp $40.95
In 1957 Gordon Gould, an obscure physicist and PhD candidate at Columbia University, created one of the most revolutionary inventions of the twentieth century; Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation – the LASER, a device that would eventually change modern medicine, industry, communications, and the military. But before Gould could patent his invention, Charles Townes, a prominent professor of physics and acquaintance of Gould’s would file his own patent and claim the LASER as his own invention. For Gould, a man already compromised by his past associations with Communism, it was the start of a thirty year battle for recognition that would challenge everything he believed in about loyalty and the law.
