@profdaveleigh.bsky.social Well done Dave! Viva El Presidente!
Supramolecular chemists, can you help me out? Who do you recognise in this photograph from 1994?
More than 200 million liters of radioactive waste are stored in decades-old tanks at the Hanford Site in Washington State. The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant was built to turn that nuclear waste into glass; it started operating in 2025. cen.acs.org/physical-che... #chemsky 🧪

Subcellular targeted anion transporters
Ryder et al. report the first subcellular targeted anion transporters that accumulate in specific membrane-bound organelles to bias their natural propensity to depolarize lysosomes. Confocal microscopy revealed the ability of the naphthalimide-based transporters to localize within their intended organelles. Analogs that contained endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomal targeting motifs showed an enhanced H+/Cl− transport ability and cytotoxicity compared with non-targeted analogs. Moreover, lysosomal accumulation improved cancer cell selectivity, while ER and mitochondrial localization enhanced apoptosis in cancerous cells.
