Hierarchical self-organization when molecules scale up to larger structures is of much current interest. This talk describes epifluorescence studies in 3 systems. First, phospholipid vesicles are stabilized against fusion by armoring them with adsorbed nanoparticles. The resulting soft, hollow capsules can be used to carry cargo, to release cargo, and for fundamental studies of colloidal dynamics. Second, single-molecule studies of actin filaments reveal that Brownian motion can have more complex statistics than Gaussian, yet remain Fickian. Third, time permitting, I will describe the supra-colloidal self-assembly of Janus particles. A picture emerges of some of the many open research opportunities in soft materials science.
Steve Granick graduated from Princeton University in 1978 and in 1982 earned his Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin. As a postdoc, he worked first with Pierre-Gilles de Gennes at the Collège de France and then with Matthew Tirrell at the University of Minnesota. He has more than 200 refereed publications in various aspects of soft matter. Recent honors include the Paris-Sciences Medal (2002), Guest Professor at Peking University, and the Polymer Physics Prize of the American Physical Society (2009).
