Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Microsoft have developed Murakkab, a new system that makes artificial intelligence agents faster, cheaper, and more energy efficient. It is a behind-the-scenes breakthrough with a big message: as artificial intelligence workflows become more complex, Murakkab helps choose the best models, tools, hardware, and execution plan automatically—cutting wasted computation, reducing energy use, and keeping advanced artificial intelligence applications running smoothly.

A recent study published in African Scientific Reports investigates rain fade impairment and the use of site diversity techniques to improve Ku-band Earth-to-space radio links in Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. The study shows that intense tropical rainfall significantly weakens satellite signals, with attenuation becoming severe when rainfall exceeds 70 mm/h and reaching as high as 54.83 dB during peak conditions. By applying ITU-R propagation models, the research demonstrates that site diversity can reduce signal degradation, although its effectiveness depends on rainfall distribution across receiving stations. This work supports more reliable satellite communication design, tropical fade mitigation planning, and improved communication infrastructure in the Niger Delta region.

Scientists have developed a new catalyst that turns carbon dioxide into methanol far more efficiently, producing about three times more fuel than standard commercial catalysts. It is a smart chemical breakthrough with a big energy message: by separating key reaction steps across different catalyst sites, researchers found a way to make carbon dioxide conversion faster, cleaner, and more selective, bringing carbon recycling and sustainable fuel production a step closer.
