SHORT FILM: A BOY AND HIS ATOM

This film holds the Guinness World Records™ record for the World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Film.

But even nanophysicists need to have a little fun. In that spirit, IBM researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules (two atoms stacked on top of each other), all in pursuit of making a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times. A movie made with atoms.
