Duke University Returns Laser to Physicist Who Made It

This is a VERY strange story. A legal dispute occurred over the ownership of a research laser.

There are many thing unanswered from reading this story. Who paid for the laser in the first place? I can't believe this guy built it out of his own pocket while he was a graduate student. How did it go with him to Stanford? Who paid for it to be completed? This is not cheap! A university usually keep the facility especially if it also supported it via providing support for that faculty member. The fact that this thing was shipped from Stanford to Duke University has many issues unanswered.

A very unusual story indeed!
