Every dot you just watched is a single atom 🧊 ✨

To make it, IBM used a scanning tunneling microscope, a two-ton machine chilled to -268°C, near absolute zero, to drag atoms across a copper surface and arrange them into a picture. Every arrangement became one frame.

The finished film runs 242 frames, each so small the whole thing only appears when magnified 100 million times. Guinness named it the smallest stop-motion film ever made.

The film grew out of IBM's research into atomic data storage. The same team is working on holding information on single atoms, the idea being that one phone could someday store every movie ever made.

A full motion picture built one atom at a time, and a record that may never be broken.
