For example, the enzyme glucose oxidase, which catalyses the reaction of glucose into hydrogen peroxide, involves the quantum tunneling of an entire oxygen atom.

例如，葡萄糖氧化酶是葡萄糖变成过氧化氢的催化剂，在催化过程中包括一个完整氧原子的量子隧穿。

When scientists apply a voltage to the finger, electrons can hop between it and the surface through a process called quantum tunneling.

当科学家在探针上加一定电压时候，电子能够在它和样品表面之间跳跃，这个过程叫做量子隧穿。

Quantum tunneling is also a key feature of the scanning tunneling microscope, the first machine to enable the imaging and manipulation of individual atoms.

量子隧穿还是扫描隧道电子显微镜的一大特色。这是第一种能够拍摄和操作原子的显微镜。

In perhaps as little as a decade, the circuits will be so thin that the phenomenon known as quantum tunneling, where electrons slip through the silicon walls, will make further progress impossible.
