Introduction of magneto-fluorescence fluctuation microspectroscopy for investigating quantum effects in biology by Antill, LM, Kohmura, M, Jimbo, C, Maeda, K

“…Our magneto-fluorescence fluctuation microspectroscopic approach has the capability of measuring magnetic field effects as low as 0.2% on fluorescence signals near the single-photon level with single-photon avalanche diodes, and is demonstrated by magnetic field effects on 23 molecules. …”

Prismatic, basal, and slip strengths of commercially pure Zr by micro-cantilever tests by Wilkinson, A

“…The exponent of approximately -1 aligns with hardening caused by the back stress generated by dislocations piling up at a diffuse barrier, resulting from stress reduction near the neutral axis. The macroscale CRSS values were successfully used to simulate deformation in a conventional macroscopic compression test.…”
