“What I cannot create, I do not understand.”
– Richard Feynman –

IBM’s nanophysicists just made movie magic at the molecular level, using a scanning tunneling microscope to choreograph thousands of carbon monoxide molecules into the world’s smallest stop-motion film – proving that even atoms can be Hollywood stars when science meets storytelling. This remarkable fusion of precision and creativity shows how far we’ve traveled since Feynman first imagined manipulating matter at the atomic scale in 1959. For some video fun this Wednesday, Check out A Boy and His Atom: The World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Film.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
