A group of IBM Research scientists recently set out to make what turned out be the Guinness World Record-certified smallest stop-motion film ever.
Called “A Boy and His Atom,” the animated film features a small boy having a good old time as he bounces around, playing catch, and dancing. The twist? The film was shot at the atomic level and features 130 atoms that were painstakingly placed, atom by atom, as the researchers shot 250 individual frames. The images were created at a temperature of negative 268 degrees Celsius and were magnified 100 million times.
