Gemini for Science: Automating Hypotheses and Experiments
DeepMind has unveiled a set of Gemini-based tools to speed up scientific research. There are three new prototypes: a hypothesis generator that runs a tournament of ideas, a system for testing code in parallel, and a tool that structures scientific literature. The tools are used by BASF and by research institutions studying rare diseases and climate forecasts.

Gemini has rolled out new scientific tools to speed up research. The system generates competing hypotheses by analyzing millions of scientific papers and automates experiments in biology, climatology and other fields.
How does Gemini generate scientific hypotheses?
The Hypothesis Generation tool analyzes millions of scientific papers and produces competing hypotheses, selecting the most promising ones and checking every conclusion against sources. This lowers the risk of errors and keeps results verifiable.
Can AI generate scientific hypotheses?
Yes. The Hypothesis Generation tool analyzes millions of scientific papers and generates competing hypotheses, checking every conclusion against sources to reduce the risk of errors and keep results verifiable.
Which areas of science do Gemini's tools cover?
The tools work in biology, climatology and other fields, expanding the scale and accuracy of experiments.
