Which Indian institution developed a computational framework mapping 9,389 chemical reactions to improve the conversion of carbon dioxide into useful fuels in October 2026?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, developed a computational framework mapping 9,389 chemical reactions to improve the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into useful fuels such as methanol. The research, reported on October 7, 2026, combined quantum-mechanical simulations, machine learning and automated reaction mapping to study CO₂ hydrogenation on a copper catalyst. The expanded model tracked 105 chemical species and predicted a 40-fold increase in conversion efficiency compared with conventional models. It also identified methanol and carbon monoxide as the primary products. Experimental results were validated by HPCL’s Green Research and Development Centre and Singapore’s A*STAR.

Until which year has the Cooperative Agreement between ISRO and ESA been extended?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
2032 is the year until which the Cooperative Agreement between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the European Space Agency (ESA) has been extended. The agreement remains valid until January 8, 2032. The extension was formalised through an exchange of letters in Paris on September 10, 2026, during the International Space Summit. It strengthens cooperation in areas such as human and robotic space exploration, Earth observation, space weather, navigation, space science, mission support and sustainable outer space activities. The original agreement came into force in January 2002.
