 • NASA and Google have developed an AI-powered medical assistant called the Crew Medical Officer Digital Assistant (CMO-DA) to help astronauts diagnose and treat medical conditions during extended Mars missions and other deep space travel where Earth communication can be delayed up to 20 minutes. • The multimodal AI system runs on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform and processes speech, text, and images, with NASA owning the source code while Google provides cloud infrastructure under a fixed-price subscription agreement. • Initial testing by three physicians, including an astronaut, showed promising diagnostic accuracy rates of 88% for ankle injuries, 80% for ear pain, and 74% for flank pain across three medical scenarios. • The system addresses the critical need for “Earth-independent” medical care as current International Space Station missions rely on real-time communication with Houston and regular cargo deliveries, which won’t be possible for longer Moon and Mar...

  How Civil Engineering Has Reshaped the World Civil engineering stands as one of humanity’s most transformative disciplines, shaping the physical world we inhabit. From ancient aqueducts to modern skyscrapers, civil engineering has driven progress, connected societies, and redefined what’s possible. This blog post explores how civil engineering has reshaped the world through infrastructure, urbanization, and sustainability, leaving an indelible mark on human civilization. Building the Foundations of Civilization Civil engineering’s impact stretches back millennia. The Romans, with their aqueducts, roads, and bridges, set a precedent for infrastructure that endures today. The Appian Way, constructed in 312 BCE, facilitated trade and military movement, knitting the Roman Empire together.

  In today's rapidly advancing technological age, it's easy to assume that all groundbreaking innovations are relatively recent. However, delving into ancient texts such as the Vedas reveals a treasure trove of knowledge that often surprises even the most skeptical minds.
