| Abstract | PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY The behavior of common metals changes dramatically as the size of the metal decreases. The color and electrical properties of metals like gold and silver change dramatically as they get smaller. People have used the color changes and electrical properties of ultrasmall metal clusters to make medical devices, environmental sensors, and electronic components. However, it is very difficult to control matter at very small size regimes. We recently showed how tiny protei |
