IBM Produces World’s Smallest Movie–Made Of Atoms https://teachingkidsnews.com/2013/05/01/1-ibm-produces-worlds-smallest-movie-made-of-atoms/ Thu, 02 May 2013 01:34:47 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=10242 It’s about a boy and an atom.

And it may just be the world’s most impressive stop-motion film.

That’s because the film is made entirely of atoms.

Stop-motion animation is a way of making a movie using still pictures.

One company, a computer company called IBM, has made the world’s smallest—and arguably the most amazing—stop-motion video.

The video features a boy named Atom playing with a “ball” (really an atom) and bouncing on a trampoline. It’s a simple film, but its importance is enormous.

That’s because, rather than a doll, the filmmakers used atoms.

An atom is a microscopic piece of matter. Atoms can’t be seen with the naked eye, or even a normal microscope, because they are too small.
