Binnig, Gerd

Binnig, Gerd (1947-) and Heinrich Rohrer (1933-) of the IBM Research Laboratory in Switzerland won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986 for their invention of the STM. 

Binnig, Gerd was bom in Frankfurt, Germany in 1947. He joined the IBM research laboratory in Zurich in 1978. With Rohrer he developed the scanning tunneling microscope for which they shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics.

IBM researchers Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer develop the first scanning tunneling microscope. 

Development of scanning tunnel microscopy (STM) by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer in 1981 pointed the way to breakthroughs in understanding basic chemical processes. Since then, STM and atomic force microscopy (AFM), as well as optical force microscopy proximal probes,1 have been used to manipulate individual atoms and molecules on surfaces. 

A. No. But, Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) gives us the chance to study and view individual atoms on the surface of materials. STM was invented in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer in Switzerland. These scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1986). 

Another decade later, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer took the tungsten wire used in the STEM to extract electrons by field emission, and mounted it on a piezo-driven scanner. Instead of defiecting the electron beam by a...
