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.
