I was born in Frankfurt, W. Germany, on 7.20., '47 as the first of two sons. My childhood was very much influenced by the Second World War, which had only just ended. We children had great fun playing among the ruins of the demolished buildings, but naturally were too young to realize that much more than just buildings had been destroyed. My education in physics gained some significance when I began my diploma work in Prof. Dr. W. Martienssen's group, under Dr. E. Hoenig's guidance. I realized that actually doing physics is much more enjoyable than just learning it. Maybe 'doing it' is the right way of learning, at least as far as I am concerned. I have always been a great admirer of Prof. Martienssen, especially of his ability to grasp and state the essence of the scientific context of a problem. Dr. Hoenig introduced me to experimenting, and exhibited great patience when I asked him very stupid questions in trying to catch up on what I had missed over all the previous years. In 1969, Lore Wagler became my wife. We had both been studying for quite a long time - Lore is now a psychologist - so only recently did we decide to have children: a daughter born in Switzerland in 1984, and a son born in California in 1986. This was the absolute highlight and most wonderful experience of my whole life. However, fatherhood is not without its sacrifice. For the time being, nearly all my hobbies, like music (singing, playing the guitar and the violin), and sports (soccer, tennis, skiing, sailing and playing golf) have had to take a back seat.

Binnig, Gerd (b. July 20, 1947, Frankfurt am Main, W.Ger.), German-born physicist who shared with Heinrich Rohrer half of the 1986 Nobel Prize for Physics for their invention of the scanning tunneling microscope Ernst Ruska won the other half of the prize.) Quantum mechanical effects cause an electric current to pass between the extremely fine tip of the STM's tungsten probe and the surface being studied, and the distance between the probe and the surface is kept constant by measuring the current produced and adjusting the probe's height accordingly. By recording the varying elevations of the probe, a topographical map of the surface is obtained on which the contour intervals are so small that individual atoms are clearly recognizable. The tip of the STM's probe is only about one angstrom wide (one ten-billionth of a metre, or about the width of an atom), and the distance between it and the surface being studied is only about 5 or 10 angstroms. In 1984 Binnig joined the IBM Physics Group in Munich. In 1989 he published the book Aus dem Nichts ("Out of Nothing"), which posited that creativity grows from disorder.

Historical Perspective The crucial role of scanning tunneling microscopy for our understanding of the material world, and its immanent significance for the future of scientific research and technical progress, has been duly appreciated by the awarding of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics to its developers Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer. It represented the latest stage in the series of developments of microscopies not based on light, which started with the development of the electron microscope by Ernst Ruska. Gerd Binnig Gerd Binnig was born in Frankfurt, W. Germany on 7/20/47. Gerd' interest in physics started at an early age of ten. He began his studying of physics in Frankfurt where he attended two colleges. Gerd began losing his interest in physics to his hobby of music. In 1978 Gerd accepted a job offer from IBM Zurich Research Laboratory to join a physics research team. Here he met Heinrich Rohner who restored his curiosity in physics with his sense of humor and humanity. This is where his "exciting" years of research on STM began. Gerd worked on the research team with Heinrich Rohner, Christoph Gerber, and Edmund Weibel. They were awarded the German Physics Prize, the Otto Klung Prize, the Hewlett Packard Prize, the King Faisal Prize and now the Nobel Prize for Physics.
