What other contributions has Gerd Binnig made to science?
Beyond the STM, Gerd Binnig has continued to make significant contributions to science and technology. He played a pivotal role in the development of the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), another powerful tool that allows for imaging, measuring, and manipulating matter at the nanoscale. The AFM extends the capabilities of the STM to non-conducting materials, broadening the scope of nanoscale research.
