Superconducting tunnel junction

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that superconducting tunnel junctions are used to make the most sensitive heterodyne receivers for submillimeter astronomy?

Created/expanded by Tls60 (talk). Self nom at 16:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

• Not created or substantially expanded within the past 5 days. Article has been gradually expanded since August 14. rʨanaɢ (talk) 17:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

• I'm passing it. Everything in the article checks out, and it's a great article in general. Rjanag's concern I don't think applies, major editing did indeed end on the nom date, which I believe is the major concern. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:11, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

BTW, on the hook side of things, wouldn't single photon detection be more "hooky", like:

... that superconducting tunnel junctions are so sensitive they can detect single photons?

• DYK check shows no 5x expansion in 690 days. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Prose counter, or History numbers? Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

• Prose counter. I will check the version of that date to see if it was a mess. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:34, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
• Version immediately before expansion was 2574 characters. Current version is 6259 characters. That is barely a 2x expansion. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:42, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

• Maury, the major concern is when the major editing began, not when it ended. The idea is, an article needs to be 5x bigger now than it was five days ago. rʨanaɢ (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
