    This movie holds the Guinness World Record for the World's Smallest Stop-Motion Film. The ability to move single atoms is essential 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, all in pursuit of making a movie so small it can be seen only when you magnify it 100 million times.
