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

May 3, 2013, 6:00AMANS Nuclear Cafe

A group of IBM researchers have created the world's smallest movie - starring 130 atoms (well, the oxygen atoms of carbon monoxide molecules).  An atomic-scale must-see!

That's definitely a lot of fun.  But the real fun is how they did it.  A great "making of" documentary below.  Enjoy!

Science and technology reporter John Roach does a fine job on the story at NBC News.
