Two milestone IBM inventions—the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) in 1981 and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) in 1986—provided researchers around the world with the specialized tools they needed to explore the nano-cosm and manipulate materials at the atomic level for the first time.

Stuxnet is a computer worm discovered in July 2010 that targets industrial software and equipment.[1] While it is not the first time that crackers have targeted industrial systems,[2] it is the first discovered malware that spies on and subverts industrial systems,[3] and the first to include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit.[4][5] Stuxnet came to be known as the most complex malware ever written - a piece of software that would ultimately make history as the world’s first real 'Cyber Weapon'.
