Frequent outbreaks of lake eutrophication and harmful phytoplankton blooms have become a major water environment problem at present in the world. The reason can be attributed to the excessive inflow of nitrogen and phosphorus into waterbodies due to intensified human activities, which has become increasingly uncontrollable due to climate warming and other causes. As the most important nutrients...
Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) hold a great prospect in the field of catalysis.

After years of research on novel nano drugs for Alzheimer's disease, a research team led by Professor Chang, Jin from Tianjin University has constructed a novel targeted and high-efficiency nanosystem for combinational therapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Such multifunctional synergetic nanosystem can be a new candidate to achieve highly efficient combination therapy for AD.AD is commonly known...
Recently, an improved type of mixed-matrix membrane materials has been developed by the Atmospheric Environment and Bioenergy Team from Tianjin University, a great breakthrough in the exploration of capturing carbon dioxide through membrane separation. The relevant outcome was published as the cover article onGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, an authoritative journal worldwide.Greenhous...
