Zusammenfassung:A short historical review of the development of tunneling concept in low-temperature condensed matter physics, physical electronics, nuclear physics, chemistry, and biology is given. It is shown how the preceding classical physics is related to the quantum mechanical tunneling phenomenon. The emphasis is placed on the common features of various tunneling manifestations in nature. The triumph of the Faraday–Maxwell–Einstein idea of the physical field has been demonstrated.
