Plastic Bottles

Caption

This image shows a rendering (gray and pink) of the molecular structure of a peptoid polymer that was studied by a team led by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. The team's success in imaging the atomic-scale structure of polymers could inform new designs for plastics, like those that form the water bottles shown in the background.
