  remark =       "According to \cite[page 277]{Kragh:2014:NPP} in
                 eur-phys-j-h.bib, this paper introduced the name
                 `photon' for a light quantum for the first time in the
                 popular science literature. There are several earlier
                 uses of that name in other fields, but they seem to
                 have had no subsequent influence. Gilbert Newton Lewis
                 at the University of California, Berkeley, promoted use
                 of `photon' as early as 1926 in \booktitle{Nature} {\bf
                 118} 874--875 (29 October 1926), and by 1930, Paul
                 Dirac used that name in the first edition of his famous
                 book, \booktitle{The Principles of Quantum
                 Mechanics}.",
