The tech giant’s new AI systems aim to accelerate scientific discovery.

Google launches Gemini for Science research tools.

Google has introduced Gemini for Science, a collection of AI tools and experiments designed to support scientific research workflows. The initiative combines capabilities from systems including Co-Scientist, AlphaEvolve, Empirical Research Assistance, and NotebookLM.

According to Google, the AI-based tools are intended to support tasks such as hypothesis generation, literature analysis, and computational research.

Google said three experimental tools will initially be released through Google Labs, focusing on hypothesis generation, computational discovery and literature analysis. The company also announced Science Skills for Google Antigravity, integrating multiple life sciences databases and research tools.

Google said the programme is being developed in collaboration with more than 100 research institutions and scientific organisations. The company also highlighted research partnerships and conference collaborations linked to AI-supported scientific research.
