SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY: "Structural changes in muscle during contraction: interference microscopy of living muscle fibres" WITH "Changes in the cross-striations of muscle during contraction and stretch and their structural interpretation" (Nature, Vol. 173, pp. 971-972, 973-976, April-June 1954) Huxley, A. F.; Niedergerke, R.; Huxley, Hugh; Hanson, Jean Science & Technology

The 'sliding filament' theory of how muscles function; their theory is "the foundation of modern understanding of muscle mechanics" (Wikipedia). Hugh Huxley (1924-2013) and Jean Hanson's (1919-1973) work "uncovered the finer processes involved in muscle contraction and is regarded as revolutionary -- a milestone in muscle research."
