The effect of enantiomeric trifluoromethyl-indolyl-acetic acid ethyl esters on the fibrillogenesis of Alzheimer's amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is described. These compounds have been previously identified as effective inhibitors of the Abeta self-assembly in their racemic form. Thioflavin-T Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy were applied to assess the potency of the chiral ta...

Membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs) have potential in wastewater treatment as they permit simultaneous COD minimisation, nitrification and denitrification. Here we report on the application of the MABR to the removal of fluorinated xenobiotics from wastewater, employing a Pseudomonas knackmussii monoculture to degrade the model compound 4-fluorobenzoate. Growth of biofilm in the MABR usin...

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) enabled by quasi-solid electrolytes are under consideration for their prospect of reliable safety and high energy density. The limited oxidative stabilization inferior chemical compatibility toward high-voltage cathodes a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report that an additive level (0.05 M) LiPF6 is introduced to polymeric concentrated electrolyte (10 M LiFSI...
