Abstract
From Furuta's 10/8 theorem, we derive a smooth slicing obstruction for knots in S^3 using a spin 4-manifold whose boundary is 0-surgery on a knot. We show that this obstruction is able to detect torsion elements in the smooth concordance group and find topologically slice knots which are not smoothly slice.
