Gerd Binnig and his colleague used what effect in their microscope's operation?
Photoelectric effect
Quantum tunneling
Piezoelectric effect
Electromagnetic induction
Answer
Quantum tunneling, the answer to Gerd Binnig and his colleague's microscope operation, is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where a particle can pass through a potential energy barrier even if its energy is less than the barrier's height. This occurs due to the wave-like nature of particles at the quantum level, allowing them to'tunnel' through barriers they classically should not be able to overcome.
