A Boy And His Atom || The World's Smallest Movie

"By magnifying atoms over 100 million times, IBM Research were able to create 'the world's smallest movie,' which now holds the Guinness World Records record for the World's Smallest Stop-Motion Film. Using a scanning tunnelling microscope, the researchers were able to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of each other) to create a basic animation telling the story of a boy and his pet atom. After doing a little dance and playing around, the boy throws the arom into the cloudy sky where the words 'THINK IBM' are written out. According to IBM, 'the ability to move single atoms — the smallest particles of any element in the universe — is crucial to IBM's research in the field of atomic memory. But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun.' Watch below."
