Feynman envisioned that, by achieving those goals, one could synthesize any chemical substance that the chemist writes down, resolve many central and fundamental problems in biology at the molecular level, and dramatically increase the density of information storage. Some 20 years later, those goals began to be achieved through the invention and application of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) [2, 3] and the atomic force microscope (AFM) . The inventors of STM, two physicists at IBM Research Division, Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in physics .
