 * ... that superconducting tunnel junctions are used to make the most sensitive heterodyne receivers for submillimeter astronomy?
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Not created or substantially expanded within the past 5 days. Article has been gradually expanded since August 14. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 17:59, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg 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?
 * Symbol delete vote.svg 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. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
