Tianjin – October 13, 2026 -- Researchers at Tianjin University have developed an all-organic mixed-matrix membrane that raised CO2 permeability by an order of magnitude in simulated flue gas tests, a new record, with a preliminary capture cost estimate of about $38 per tonne of CO2.

The study appeared online in Nature Energy on Oct. 7 under the title "All-organic mixed-matrix membranes with single-crystal covalent organic frameworks for carbon capture."

Tianjin, China – October 02, 2026 -- Tianjin University's "Shengong-Shengao" system has become China's first approved brain-computer interface (BCI) medical device for diagnosing cognitive impairment, cutting diagnosis time for conditions like hydrocephalus from days to just 30 minutes. The milestone marks a commercial breakthrough as TJU, China's first modern university, marks its 131st anniversary on October 2, 2026.
