The most recent revolution came with Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Karl Binnig's scanning tunneling microscope (STM), invented in 1981, which provided the first images of individual atoms on the surfaces of materials.
Binnig and Rohrer began their STM work at the IBM Zurich Division's Research Laboratory in 1978.
Rohrer, born in Buchs, Switzerland, received his degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1960 and had been with IBM since 1963.

As in the graphite representation from Binnig and Rohrer, in this gray-scale image, the previously known atomic lattice is symbolized by fl and white circles for the respective atoms.

Physics Nobel Laureates Heinrich Rohrer and Leo Esaki, and renowned chemist George M. Whitesides shared their views on nanotechnology with an audience that was all ears at the joint Nano-7/Ecoss-21 Conference in Malmö, Sweden in mid-summer.
Nonetheless, three pioneers of nanotechnology, namely Heinrich Rohrer from IBM Zürich, George M. Whitesides from Harvard University, and Leo Esaki from the Japanese National Commission on Educational Reform took up the challenge to position nanotechnology with biotechnology, and to address the question of the public perception of nanotechnology.
Heinrich Rohrer framed the strong point of the discussion: "Is nanotechnology evolutionary or revolutionary?" His line of reasoning suggested the following.

 Foresight Update 30 Page 1
In Dr. Rohrer's view, the basic tools of the nanotechnology trade are beam methods such as microscopy, lithography, and machining; local probes like scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes; computational methods (the theory of the nanoscale); and nano-materials.
Rohrer suggested that from now on, we will be required to look at concepts such as molecular self-assembly, the solid/liquid interface, the nano/macro interface, and distributed mechanical/chemical/electronic processing.
Rohrer responded that one could never have made a case for microtechnology based on what it might mean to the space program.

Dr Gerd Binnig and Dr Heinrich Rohrer, IBM Research Laboratory, Zurich, Switzerland, for their design of the scanning tunnelling microscope.
The first researchers to succeed in building a scanning tunneling microscope were Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at the IBM Research Laboratories in Zürich, Switzerland.
The reason for their success was the exceptional precision of the mechanical design One example of this is that disturbing vibrations from the environment were eliminated by building the microscope upon a heavy permanent magnet floating freely in a dish of superconducting lead.
