A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 เม.ย. 2013
- 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

I love how the boy's hair flops a little bit when he's dancing. Cute subtle details.
Yea cause manipulating atoms is subtle
Waffle apacalypse I mean that they could have simply let his hair stationary, but instead took the time to move the hair.That's impressive.
The boy looks like a boy, such details
Waffle apacalypse manipulating atoms is subtle though. Unless your making an atomic bomb or something.
that isnt a detail and it isnt subtle, its extremely loud and attention grabbing. it is the only lifelike thing about this animation. this is just an ad for ibm, of course anything involving authentic artistry for it was phoned in. (except for the perfectly rendered IBM logo of course)
Scientists playing with atoms and making a stop motion animation is exactly what I expected from our greatest minds. I love it!

And you became an atomator instead
But When the atomator sees a smaller atom
The atomator becomes an animator and animates the atoms.

Nano animation
WOWW YOU DON'T READ MY PROFILE PICTURE 😶😶❌❌
Spoiler: the things that you're seeing aren't atoms at all, they're molecules. Carbon monoxide molecules to be exact, so they're 2 atoms stacked atop each other. And this isn't a movie, but more like a cartoon (many pictures in a row), which is how the camera is so steady. I'm interested to know more about the ripples around the molecules.
Those ripples are the electrons of the copper atoms the movie was animated on. "Filming" was only possible at extremely low temperatures, at which point the electrons of the copper behave more like a fluid.
@@dweebteambuilderjones7627 That's interesting AF! Thank you!! I'm probably going to ask you a few more questions, once I sort them all out.

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.
Thanks dude, I was hoping for someone to explain this at the comment section, and here you are, explaining it to me, thanks.
Wow, I guess this is what you call [DETERMINATION]. But really, I’m impressed

@@andresrios1117 thanku ,kind sir!!
Hate to be that guy but there's a a lot of misinformation about how Nuclear weapons work. It's not actually the splitting of an atom that creates all that energy, it's the splitting of an atom that causes the pieces of the atom to fly out and split more atoms around it, creating a chain reaction of splitting in a very small compressed space of a specific kind of atom (like I believe Nitrogen or hydrogen) building the pressure and energy to the point of a huge explosion, and it's the exact same way power plants generate energy as well, except in a much more controlled and smaller scale manner.
