IBM atomic-data research made the world's smallest stop-motion film using 12-atom magnets and molecules of carbon monoxide. The nanoparticles could improve the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy. Oxygen: The molecule that made the world (Popular Science) by Nick Lane. Scientists in Canada have made nanoparticles that release singlet oxygen when a laser beam is shone on them. This is the basis of photodynamic therapy, a treatment for some cancers. A very mind expanding and thought provoking book. Under the right conditions, oxygen, light and photosensitiser molecules combine to generate a short-lived poisonous oxygen species called singlet oxygen. IBM Has Made The First Movie Using Single Atoms. There is a lot more here than you might be expecting even from the title. In Oxygen, Nick Lane takes the reader on an enthralling journey as he unravels the unexpected ways in which oxygen spurred the evolution of life and death. The 5,000 molecules of carbon monoxide — a carbon and an oxygen bonded together — used during filming are moved using tiny magnets made of 12 atoms to drag the carbon monoxide.
