IBM researchers claim to have created the first molecular switch with the potential to be built into larger-scale systems and, on the same day, published results that could lead to magnetic storage at ...

IBM Research has delivered a breakthrough that can track atoms and their behavior at nanoscale. The discovery could allow atoms to be better manipulated for nanotechnology applications such as storage ...

Don Eigler moved a single atom two decades ago. Since then, he and IBM have taken new steps in pursuing a dream of compact, power-efficient computing. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

Quantum Computing Advantage will Arrive Next Year. Are you ready? Know which quantum company to invest in? Read this and ...

IBM's bleeding-edge nanophysicists have created the world's smallest movie (embedded below), by moving single carbon atoms around a copper surface. The film, called A Boy and His Atom, is 60 seconds ...

IBM scientists have unveiled what they called “the world’s smallest movie,” which tracks the movement of atoms magnified 100 million times. The film, A Boy and His Atom, depicts a character named Atom ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research ...

People speak in front of a screen showing the IBM logo on November 14, 2012 in Paris. IBM scientists Wednesday unveiled what they called "the world's smallest movie," which tracks the movement of ...

Twenty years ago, a scientist at IBM gave birth to the nanotechnology movement, with a tiny movement of his own. On September 28, 1989, IBM Fellow Don Eigler used a custom built microscope to jiggle ...

Talk about some tiny pixels: Researchers at IBM have created the world’s tiniest stop-motion animation film by using single atoms to tell the story of a boy named Atom and his friend, an atom. The ...

IBM researchers have found a way to put a single bit of data on a 12-atom surface, creating the world's smallest magnetic storage device. It's a breakthrough that's not likely to make its way into ...

IBM has made a stop-motion film—A Boy and His Atom—using individual molecules as pixels, in what Guinness has acknowledged is the world’s smallest movie. The movie’s plot line depicts a character ...
