OpenAI releases first teen usage report as parental safety alerts face scrutiny
OpenAI says teen users spend less than 15 minutes a day on ChatGPT on average, and fewer than 2% use it for more than three hours at a stretch. In tests using more than ten accounts, Common Sense Media found that conversations about suicide, self-harm or eating disorders did not trigger timely parental alerts. OpenAI says account linking and alert activation can take several hours.

Tianjin University team develops high-loading carbon capture membrane with high permeability in simulated flue gas tests
A team led by Jiang Zhongyi and He Guangwei at Tianjin University embedded single-crystal COF in a polymer membrane, reaching a 75.5% filler volume fraction. In simulated flue gas mixture tests, the membrane achieved CO₂ permeability of 74,800 Barrer and CO₂/N₂ selectivity of about 20; a preliminary techno-economic analysis estimated capture costs at about $38 per tonne of CO₂ under specified process and cost assumptions.
