“A Boy and His atom” is officially the smallest film world, a microscopic film if to believe in the famous Guinness Book of Records. IBM signed this short animated film depicts a boy playing with his atom … A small atom it was necessary to grow 100 million times to be visible, says Le Figaro.
And with a very powerful microscope – the “scanning tunneling microscope” – the engineers at IBM managed to create this character because of carbon monoxide molecules. Tiny particles have been displaced one by one on a copper plate to give it “life.”
242 images and 5000 movements of molecules have been necessary to achieve this, several months of a long process.
on two videos … “A Boy and His atom” First of all, as well as a video presentation in which you will discover the why and how of this project which is also hidden behind an industrial issue.
