Google DeepMind and Google Cloud have expanded their commitment to the Genesis Mission, a national effort to accelerate scientific discovery using AI. At the DOE Genesis Mission Summit 2026, the companies announced a $40 million investment in AI tools and cloud credits for researchers. This funding will support the development of advanced AI models and infrastructure to aid scientific breakthroughs across energy, security, and other critical fields. Source: deepmind
The initiative includes providing in-kind access to a suite of frontier AI tools for science, including AlphaEvolve, AlphaFold 3, AlphaGenome, WeatherNext, and AlphaEarth Foundations. These tools are designed to tackle complex scientific challenges, such as simulating fusion plasma dynamics, predicting protein structures, and understanding genetic variations. Additionally, the program will offer Gemini for Government seats and tokens to tens of thousands of users across the DOE National Laboratories. This secure platform supports a wide range of research and administrative tasks, creating a unified foundation for scientific work. Source: deepmind
At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Dr. Henry Kvinge is using AlphaEvolve to explore complex mathematical systems, while researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies are leveraging Gemini to automate materials discovery. These efforts demonstrate the practical impact of AI tools in accelerating scientific research and enabling new discoveries. Source: deepmind
