Christoph Gerber

Christoph Gerber is a Swiss physicist and engineer renowned for his pioneering work in nanotechnology, specifically in developing tools called atomic force microscopes (AFMs). These instruments allow scientists to visualize and manipulate objects at the atomic scale, enabling detailed examination of surfaces and materials at the nanometer level. His innovations have significantly advanced research in materials science, biology, and electronics, contributing to the ability to study and engineer devices with extraordinary precision. Gerber’s work has been fundamental in pushing the limits of how small structures can be observed and crafted, opening new frontiers in science and technology.
