The World’s Smallest Movie
The star of the new movie made by IBM is 1/25,000,000 inch tall. The ability to move single atoms, one of the smallest particles of any element in the universe, is crucial to IBM’s research in the field of atomic-scale memory. In 2012, IBM scientists announced the creation of the world’s smallest magnetic memory bit, […]
