On JACS cover with the ANL Heavy Element group: Phenanthroline bends neptunyl into its most distorted shape ever—while plutonium resists and flips redox. Actinyl chemistry, rewritten. @jacs.acspublications.org #myACScover pubs.acs.org/toc/jacsat/1...

The purple membrane from Halobacterium salinarum archaea can unidirectionally transfer charge carriers in response to incident photons, even after separation from living cells. Upon integration with semiconductor nanoparticles, this isolated membrane forms a photosynthetic biohybrid system capable of abiotically and efficiently converting dinitrogen into ammonia under ambient conditions. The cover concept was developed by the authors to visualize this light-driven abiotic nitrogen fixation pathway. An initial sketch was generated using ChatGPT’s DALL·E tool and was subsequently refined and finalized using Adobe Photoshop. View the article.
