A Boy and His Atom, produced by IBM nanophysicists, holds the Guinness World Record for being the smallest stop-motion film, created by manipulating thousands of carbon monoxide molecules using a scanning tunneling microscope. The film can only be viewed when magnified 100 million times. Accompanying behind-the-scenes footage showcases how scientists operate at the nanoscale, highlighting significant advancements in nanotechnology since Richard Feynman's initial concepts in 1959, showcasing expanding capabilities in manipulating matter at an atomic level.
A Boy and His Atom holds the Guinness World Record for being the World's Smallest Stop-Motion Film, made entirely from atoms and carbon monoxide molecules.
IBM scientists demonstrate the precision of nanotechnology by moving thousands of molecules to create a film, reflecting advancements in the field since Feynman's foundational work.
