Gemini for Science: AI experiments and tools for a new era of discovery

Google is launching Gemini for Science, a suite of AI tools and experiments aimed at accelerating scientific research. The collection includes three experimental prototypes on Google Labs: Hypothesis Generation (using Co-Scientist for multi-agent idea tournaments), Computational Discovery (using AlphaEvolve and ERA to test thousands of code variations in parallel), and Literature Insights (built on NotebookLM for synthesizing research papers). Additionally, Science Skills integrates over 30 life science databases including UniProt and AlphaFold for complex bioinformatics workflows. Enterprise access is available via Google Cloud, with partners like BASF, Klarna, Daiichi Sankyo, and Bayer Crop Science already in private preview. The initiative also includes collaborations with 100+ institutions and pilots with conferences like ICML and NeurIPS for AI-assisted peer review. ERA and Co-Scientist research papers are published today in Nature.
