In 1982 a paper describing a new technique known as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was published by a group of scientists from the IBM Research Laboratory in Zurich [G. Binning, H. Rohrer, Ch. Geber, and E. Weibel, Physical Review Letters, 49, 57 (1982)]. This paper was built on prior work in the same laboratory...

Binning and Rohrer were able to see individual silicon atoms on a surface. Although the STM was considered a fundamental advancement for scientific research, it had limited applications, because it worked only on electrically conductive samples.

Nanotechnology exploits the properties of materials on a nanometric scale, (a nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter). ... This includes the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), whose development in 1986 earned G. Binning and H. Rohrer the Novel prize for physics, and more recently the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). ;
