Abstract
With state‐of‐the‐art technology supported by scissors and bungy cords, Earth scientists are beginning to look at mineral surfaces and mineral‐fluid interactions on an atomic scale.The instrument that can provide such a detailed view is the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which made a great theoretical and practical splash when it was introduced in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, physicists at IBM's laboratory in Zurich. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics for their work 5 years later.
