A boy and his Atom, The world´s smallest movie!!! (dancing atoms)


Ok, This is something we were not waiting for. Usually in technology you can predict with certain accuracy where things are going, either smaller or integrated in most cases. But this time foreseeing a stop motion movie made by moving single atoms around would have been a prove of prophetic talents, and this is not only because it´s a movie recorded with a 100 million times magnifier glass but because there are atoms telling the story of a kind falling in love with one of them, playing, jumping and laughing together. Of course the implications of this technology go far beyond the realm of filmmaking  straight to the data storage industry, promising that in a not so far future we would be able to storage all the movies ever made in one single smartphone.  Now think about this, what a better way to start that story, the story on which knowing something like the back of my hand will mean to know all the information ever produce by man, that with a love story between a young, curious and open mind and the single piece of matter that  builds that mind. That´s is just Poetic.
Cheers on IBM research for this one!!!
