Extractions: (in conjunction with Gerd Binnig and shared with Ernst Ruska, Germany) There was a lot of talk about microscopes when the 1986 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded. One half of the prize went to the German physicist Ernst Ruska for his discovery several years previously of the principle of the electron microscope. The other half went to a team comprising Gerd Binnig from Germany and Heinrich Rohrer from Switzerland "in recognition of the recent discovery of the scanning tunneling microscope". This microscope, which is small enough to hold in the hand, was named after a quantum effect, tunneling, that occurs when a low electrical current is passed between a metal point (probe) and a conducting surface. The probe has to be held about one nanometer (one billionth of a meter!) away from the surface to create this current. The topography of an object can be determined precisely by scanning its surface and measuring the tunnel current, which varies depending on the distance between the probe and the surface. The impressive image of a piece of silicon with its atoms lined up like a string of pearls is a familiar sight by now. The scanning tunneling microscope ushered in a significant era in the development of microscopy. It was originally intended for studying the crystalline structures of conducting or semi-conducting engineering materials, but it has since been developed for all sorts of different technical applications. Some of these microscopes can be used to investigate biological probes (viruses, large accumulations of protein or DNA), others to study the friction between substances on the atomic level (investigations of lubricants and wear on micromotors in nanotechnology).

Extractions: larger photo 59 kB Optical microscopes reach their limit at a resolution of approximately 250 nanometres (1 nanometre = 1 nm = 1 millionth of a millimetre). This corresponds roughly to half the wavelength of visible light. With an electron microscope, this limit can be overcome, since electrons have shorter wavelengths than light. In certain materials, a modern electron microscope is even able to visualise atomic structures of subnanometre dimensions. Under certain conditions it is also possible to depict surfaces at the atomic scale by employing methods that use X-rays or electron diffraction. However, none of these methods is as simple and as non-invasive as scanning tunnelling microscopy. The scanning tunnelling microscope does not "see" the atoms, but "feels" them. An ultra-fine tip scans a surface at a constant interval of just a few atomic widths. The control of the distance between the tip and the surface is constantly checked by means of the so-called "tunnelling current". This flows between the tip and the target when a voltage is applied between them. The tunnelling current can only be explained by means of quantum mechanics. This STM image from IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory shows the transition from gallium arsenide (above, left) to the "rougher" aluminium gallium arsenide (below, right) with a resolution at the atomic scale. The three bright elevations that are clearly recognisable are individual oxygen atoms.

Jahrhundert geprägt und verändert haben. Eine ganze Reihe teils berühmter Exponate aus den Labors der Nobelpreisträger bilden seit jeher Highlights der Ausstellungen im Deutschen Museum. Blick in die Ausstellung Anlässlich dieses Jubiläums präsentiert das Deutsche Museum eine kleine Sonderausstellung, die Leben und Werk des schwedischen Erfinders Alfred Nobel und die Entstehungsgeschichte seines Preises nachzeichnet. Den Mittelpunkt bilden die Nobelpreisträger selbst: In Interviews und durch faszinierende Fotoporträts begegnen wir den Personen, die durch ihre Kreativität und ihren Innovationsgeist Erstaunliches geleistet haben. Die Ausstellung lädt ein zu einem Rundgang durch das Deutsche Museum auf den Spuren der Nobelpreisträger. Eine besondere Führungslinie geleitet Sie zu den Nobel-Exponaten, angefangen von der Röntgenapparatur von Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (dem ersten Nobelpreisträger für Physik), über den Experimentiertisch von Otto Hahn bis zum Rastertunnelmikroskop von Gerd Binnig und Heinrich Rohrer, das den Aufbruch in den Nanokosmos einleitete. Die Ausstellung nobel! 100 Jahre Nobelpreis entstand durch eine gemeinsame Idee des Deutschen Museums Bonn und des Lemelson Center der Smithsonian Institution am National Museum of American History, Behring Center.

Extractions: Media Advisory - June 4, 1997 PA/M 97-24 Nobel Laureate Heinrich Rohrer, inventor of the scanning tunneling microscope, will inaugurate a new National Science Foundation engineering lecture series with a talk titled The Nanometer Age: Challenges and Chances. Rohrer will discuss recent advances in precision nanoscale science and technology, which will permit building things molecule by molecule and heralding a class of made-to-order materials with streamlined structures and properties. Ultra-precise medical instruments could permit surgeons to operate on individual cells. Materials dozens of times stronger than steel of the same weight could be produced. The ability to manipulate molecules would greatly contribute to an emerging field of science that explores how to arrange conditions so that atoms spontaneously assemble into specific molecular structures. Rohrer and Gerd Binnig received the King Faisal Prize and the Hewlett Packard Europhysics Prize in 1984, and the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986. Rorher was inducted into the US National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1994. He joined IBM's Zurich research laboratory in 1963. For more information about the lecture and Rohrer, see:

Extractions: The more conventional aspect of science and technology on the nanometer (nm) scale is seen in advancing observation and precision standards down to the atomic level and in continued miniaturization from today's microtechnology to tomorrow's nanotechnology. There is lots of room at the bottom of the scale, even now, thirty-five years after R. Feynman's famous lecture on reducing the size of computers until bits are of the size of atoms. A more adventurous approach to the nanoworld is the assembly-scenario where molecules and macromolecules serve as building blocks to form complex functional units. Miniaturization and assembly together should provide possibilities and new ways of solving problems, namely, the most elegant way nature solves them. Crucial will be our ability to handle nano-objects on an individual basis and to interface them to the macroscopic world for communication and control. Resume of Dr. Heinrich Rohrer
