Steve Granick is one of the members of a research team that has broken ground on an exciting new area of physics and chemistry. Through use of metal deposition Granick along with Liang Hong, Steven Anthony, and Huilin Tu, has created a material that is geometrically balanced while being a chemical split. The half metallic, half non-metallic particles hold an infinite number of possible applications including medical applications.Within the micron-sized particles lie fluorescent dyes. The dyes appearance when viewing the uncoated portion of the particle and subsequent disappearance when the metallic coated portion of the particle is in view opens up a whole new realm of study for the science of motion.
