A recent study published in African Scientific Reports introduces the HFW-AG operator, a hybrid method that combines weighted averaging and geometric aggregation for multi-criteria group decision-making under hesitant fuzzy information. The approach was designed to capture both additive and multiplicative relationships when experts provide several possible assessment values rather than a single precise judgment. Its mathematical properties including idempotency, monotonicity, commutativity, and boundedness were established, and the method was tested in selecting an air-conditioning system for a university auditorium. Unlike conventional operators that ranked the second alternative first, HFW-AG selected the fourth alternative with a score of 0.8137, demonstrating its ability to produce distinct and potentially more balanced rankings under uncertainty.

A recent study published in Journal of the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences investigates the theoretical corrosion-inhibition potential of two dithiazolidine compounds, DPID and PCID, on the Fe(110) surface. Using density functional theory and adsorption locator/Monte Carlo simulations, the researchers found that both molecules adsorb strongly in nearly parallel orientations, with sulphur atoms acting as the main adsorption centres. PCID showed the stronger predicted performance, recording a smaller HOMO–LUMO gap of 0.10355 Ha and a more negative adsorption energy of −147.611 kcal/mol, compared with −137.419 kcal/mol for DPID. The findings identify PCID as the more promising candidate, although experimental validation is still required.
