Seven years in which absolutely nothing important whatsoever happens, seven years of painstakingly informing the supermarket and food manufacturing industries of a new low-density soy peptoid, three exciting flavors of smoked bacon, and a breathrough foil bag for chips that increases shelf life by five measly days.

What's more, unlike a typical polymer, each building block in a peptoid nanosheet is encoded with structural 'marching orders'-suggesting its properties can be precisely tailored to an application.

Servoss's team seeks to overcome these obstacles by developing a collection of affitoids, which are synthetic, peptoid-based affinity reagents.
-
Each peptoid sheet is just two molecules thick yet up to hundreds of square micrometers in area-a 'molecular paper' large enough to be visible to the naked eye.

Zuckermann and coauthor Christian Kisielowski reached another first by using the TEAM 0.5 microscope at the National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) to observe individual polymer chains within the peptoid material, confirming the precise ordering of these chains into sheets and their unprecedented stability while being bombarded with electrons during imaging.
