"AI lab GoogleDeepMind announced a major new partnership with the U.K. government Wednesday, pledging to accelerate breakthroughs in materials science and clean energy, including nuclear fusion, as well as conducting joint research on the societal impacts of AI and on ways to make AI decision-making more interpretable and safer. As part of the partnership, Google DeepMind said it would open its first automated research laboratory in the U.K. in 2026."
"That lab will focus on discovering advanced materials including superconductors that can carry electricity with zero resistance. The facility will be fully integrated with Google's Gemini AI models. Gemini will serve as a kind of scientific brain for the lab, which will also use robotics to synthesize and characterize hundreds of materials per day, significantly accelerating the timeline for transformative discoveries."
Google DeepMind and the U.K. government formed a partnership to speed advances in materials science and clean energy, including work on nuclear fusion. The collaboration includes an automated research laboratory opening in the U.K. in 2026 that will integrate Google’s Gemini models and robotics to synthesize and analyze hundreds of materials per day, targeting discoveries such as superconductors. The effort also expands research into how large AI models make decisions and the societal impacts of AI on labor markets and mental health. The partnership aims to align AI development with public benefit and safer, more interpretable AI systems.
