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

  • You're about to see the movie that holds the Guinness World Records™ record for the World's Smallest Stop-Motion Film (see how it was made at • Moving Atoms: Making T... ). 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. 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. Learn more about atomic memory, data storage and big data at www.ibm.com/madewithatoms

      ​@@VictoryLlamaOk, it definitely doesn't happen like that, atoms vibrate a lot individually at our temperature (temperature is the average vibration of an atom and any particle smaller than it in an object) because of how it looks in the animation, it must be at a very low temperature, since the atoms (individually in a spaced location) move freely as told by quantum mechanics.

  • @isaaclyman3116
    @isaaclyman3116 3 года назад +3394

    This movie was filmed with a scanning tunneling microscope, which can capture atoms at a depth resolution of 0.01 nanometers--less than a tenth of the size of a single oxygen atom--which is why atoms in the background aren't captured. Each atom is part of a carbon monoxide molecule, but only the oxygen part shows up on film. The molecules were moved around on a copper plate using a copper needle. 65 molecules were used, and in total there are over 240 frames. It was filmed by a four-person research team and took them two weeks working 18-hour days.
    There was no danger of accidentally splitting an atom, but if they had, no one would have been hurt. Splitting an atom doesn't release much energy unless you cause a chain reaction.
    I got all this from reading the Wikipedia page, which you should definitely check out if you want to learn more.
