Being able to more completely control these particles affords us a greater ability to measure the mechanical properties of biomolecules, including DNA. It may also be possible to control the behavior of cells by manipulating dot-Janus particles attached to cell surfaces. These biological applications, as well as the ability to control the assembly of nanostructures, establish the broad scientific value of these findings
