The nanophysicists working at IBM appear to be Trekkies.

In honor of the iconic science fiction franchise’s latest film “Star Trek: Into Darkness” — set for release on May 17 — IBM has unveiled amazing new photos crafted from the microscopic movements of single carbon atoms.

“Scientists used a microscope the size of a room to maneuver single atoms to form the shapes of the Enterprise, the Vulcan salute, the Star Trek logo, a U.S.S. Enterprise the height of a single nanometer, and an animation of the Star Trek logo,” IBM officials said in a statement.
