C(S, Fmax) of observing slip sizes larger than size S in a stress-bin near maximum applied stresses Fmax for slowly-compressed nanocrystals (green), bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) (turquoise)8,9,18, rocks (red), granular materials (yellow and light green) and earthquake data (purple)2,3. (For rescaling constants kx and ky, see Methods section and Supplementary Information). They follow the predicted power-law of −1/2 (triangle). Slip-size ranges: 0.4514–64.9168 nm (nanocrystals), 0.1450–4.4376 MPa (BMG stress-drops), 1010 − 9.2629 × 104 mV (rock friction acoustic emission amplitudes), 0.0091–1.3851 N (granular materials force-drops, forward shear), 0.0573–1.6689 N (granular, backward shear, measured with a different instrument), 4.4601 × 1014–5.6234 × 1016 Nm (earthquake moments, Southern California).
