AI's hottest skill: Why prompt engineering could be India's next big tech export
India has enormous promise in the field of prompt engineering, a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating and refining prompts to enhance AI model performance, attributable to its large talent pool and quickly growing technological thorough investigation explores the state of engineering education in India today, highlighting its advantages, disadvantages, and potential contributions to prompt engineering in the MASSIVE ENGINEERING TALENT POOLOne of the world's greatest pools of technical expertise is found in India. The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) reports that more than 4000 engineering institutes in India create more than 1.5 million engineers a year. The growth of cutting-edge disciplines like prompt engineering is strongly supported by this enormous talent pool. However, prompt engineering is more than just creating powerful prompts. It requires a thorough comprehension of the underlying AI model, which further requires comprehensive knowledge of mathematics. It has the capacity to forecast its results, and the inventiveness to direct the algorithm to produce the intended response. It involves intricate interactions between linguistic proficiency, technical understanding, and creative prompt engineering is still relatively new worldwide, it has a lot of potential. The need for qualified quick engineers is expected to increase as companies use AI in their operations more and more.

IISc, startup develop magnetic nanobots to treat tooth sensitivity
BENGALURU: For millions of people, the sudden, sharp pain of tooth sensitivity can turn a sip of cold water into a jolt. Now, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science ( IISc ), in collaboration with Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup Theranautilus, have engineered 'CalBots' – magnetic nanobots that can seal the problem at its source. As per IISc, CalBots are 400-nanometre particles loaded with a calcium silicate-based bioceramic formula, designed to travel deep inside dentinal tubules, the tiny tunnels in the tooth that lead to nerve endings. Guided by an external magnetic field, the bots can penetrate up to 500 micrometres into the tubules and self-assemble into stable, cement-like plugs that recreate the tooth's natural barrier. One application, the team says, can offer lasting relief. Dental hypersensitivity affects nearly one in four people worldwide and occurs when enamel erosion or gum recession exposes the dentine layer beneath, IISc said. The tubules in dentine act as direct pathways to the nerves, which is why even mild temperature changes can trigger pain. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Beautiful Female Athletes Right Now Undo 'We didn't want to create a slightly better version of what's already out there. We wanted a technology that solves a real problem in a way that no one's attempted before,' Shanmukh Peddi, postdoctoral researcher at IISc's Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) and co-founder of Theranautilus. The team used a completely new class of bioceramic cement for the nanobots. While bioceramics are common in orthopaedics and dentistry, the formulation was designed specifically for hypersensitivity – to travel deeper and last longer. To test the approach, they worked first on extracted human teeth. 'On these samples, we applied CalBots under a magnetic field for 20 minutes, during which the bots sealed the dentinal tubules by forming deep, stable plugs – a result confirmed through high-resolution imaging,' Peddi said. They then moved to animal trials, inducing sensitivity in mice and tracking their drinking behaviour. 'Healthy mice drank both cold and room temperature water equally. But sensitive mice completely avoided cold water. After treatment, they started drinking it again. We saw 100% behavioural recovery. That was a big moment for us,' he said. The CalBots are made entirely from materials classified as 'Generally Recognised as Safe' and passed toxicity tests in mice. 'This is a compelling demonstration of what nanorobotics can achieve, and how they could significantly impact future healthcare,' said Ambarish Ghosh, professor at CeNSE and one of the study's corresponding authors. Debayan Dasgupta, former PhD student at CeNSE and co-founder of Theranautilus, sees this as part of a bigger technological shift. 'We've created a regenerative, active nanomaterial – a step towards the kind of 'tiny mechanical surgeons' Richard Feynman once envisioned,' he said. Peddi added: 'This is something we've worked towards silently for years. And the fact that we've done it here, in India, makes us very happy.'

ANITS-NSTL to explore research collaboration
A 12-member team of Heads of Departments (HoDs), led by K. Sri Rama Krishna, Director R&D of Anil Neerukonda Institute of Technology and Sciences (ANITS), Tagarapuvalasa, participated in an interactive session, organised by the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), to explore avenues for establishing collaborative research. NSTL Director Abraham Varghese emphasised the significance of building local ecosystem involving academia in and around Visakhapatnam. He announced that the DRDO Academic Conclave 2025 is scheduled to be held in October at the Andhra University. H.N. Das, an outstanding scientist at NSTL, spoke on the lab's current activities and research domains. Saji V.F., Academic Interaction Officer(AIO) and T. Venu Gopala Rao, Deputy AIO also addressed the gathering.
