On December 7, 2025, the first Council meeting of the China University Alliance for Earth System Sciences (CUAESS), jointly initiated by Tianjin University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, was held in Tianjin. The event was hosted by the School of Earth System Science at Tianjin University and co-organized by relevant departments of Tsinghua ...

Tianjin University research team recently combined hydrogeochemical surveys, stable isotopes, clumped isotopes, and radiocarbon analyses to systematically reveal the biogeochemical cycling patterns of methane in urban waters during freeze-thaw events. The findings were published in Water Research (Nature Index journal), with Han Jiaxu (2025 Master’s graduate) as the first author, Dr. Wang Xinchu as ...

Recently, Professor Michael Guiver, Professor Yan Yin, and Professor Junfeng Zhang 's team from School of Mechanical Engineering at Tianjin University has made significant strides in core areas of hydrogen-electrical energy interconversion, including ion-exchange membranes, electrode interfaces, and catalyst engineering. By proposing a series of innovative material design concepts and engineering strategies,...

On June 24, the latest research findings by a research team from Tianjin University, titled “Cropland expansion causes a reduction in biogenic secondary organic aerosol and associated radiative cooling” were published in Nature Geoscience.This study employed an Earth system model incorporating a developed SOA formation mechanism to systematically quantify, for the first time on a global scale, the ...

Chinese scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the field of needle-free diagnostics by developing a novel terahertz optoacoustic system. This system overcomes the interference caused by water and enables real-time measurement of blood sodium levels in live mice without the need for blood sampling or labeling. Preliminary human trials have also demonstrated its potential for clinical applications....

A research team led by Associate Professor Yiwen Wang from the School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Tianjin University, developed a novel screening strategy using a Drosophila (fruit fly) model to identify anti-nephrolithiasis compounds from herbal medicines. A pathological model of kidney stone formation was successfully established by inducing crystal deposits in the Malpighian tubules ...
