The World’s Smallest Movie Produced by IBM

The nano-cinematographers (that’s right, we just made up that word) used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of molecules and make a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times. 

Nanophysicists have the most fun, or at least some IBM researchers do. The nanocinematographers (that’s right, we just made up that word) used a scanning tunneling microscope to move thousands of molecules and make a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times. 


Watch “A Boy and His Atom” here:
