'' the physical principles on which the stm was based were already known before the ibm team developed the stm , but binnig and his colleagues were the first to solve the significant experimental challenges involved in putting it into effect . the ibm zurich team were soon recognized with a number of prizes : the german physics prize , the otto klung prize , the hewlett packard prize and the king faisal prize . in 1986 , binnig and rohrer shared half of the nobel prize in physics , the other half of the prize was awarded to ernst ruska . binnig , christoph gerber and calvin quate...
