Past• Gave scientists the ability to explore
and manipulate solid surfaces on the size scale of atoms.• Helped discover fullerenes-
spherical carbon molecules.

Future
• To allow people to bring a "specimen" to a scanned probe microscope lab, put on a head-set designed for virtual reality, and stand among friends on a landscape of molecules resting on the specimen's surface. Every few seconds, the surface will ripple a bit, as the scanning probe tip passes by.
