Usage well before 1980[edit]

Currently the entry states "Coined by American physicist Tihomir Novakov in 1980", but doing a search I can find the phrase in academic articles as far back as 1825 ([1]). Is this usage in a different sense or is the etymology information incorrect? —The Editor's Apprentice (talk) 06:21, 20 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
