Google has announced a trio of new AI-powered features for its Google TV platform, after showing off smarter Gemini integration at CES back in January. Google TV can now provide "richer visual help" when you ask it a question. Request the current sports scores, for example, and Gemini will bring up not only a live updating scorecard, but also where you can watch the game. If you’re looking for a recipe, it’ll pair its results with a video tutorial where possible. If you’d rather learn something new than binge away at your latest Netflix fix, Google TV can also now do visual "deep dives" on topics that interest you. If there’s an economic trend, scientific phenomenon or technological innovation that’s on your mind, Gemini will create a "custom, interactive walkthrough" on the subject in question, allowing you to ask follow-up questions afterwards. The idea is that the feature lets you turn "passive viewing into meaningful screen

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have now developed a technique to precisely maneuver quantum sensors through these highly viscous biological environments, such as the interior of living cells, using magnetic microbots. This opens up possibilities for real-time, minimally invasive measurement of parameters like local viscosity and temperature inside cells.

Author(s): Rakesh K. Dora and Ajit C. BalramFractional quantum Hall (FQH) fluids are prototypical examples of topologically ordered systems. The addition of a flavor degree of freedom, such as spin, adds to the richness of the FQH phenomenology. Here, the authors compute the dispersion of various collective excitations in the most prominent spinless and spinful FQH states. Intriguingly, they find that certain spinful FQH states host a novel collective mode, which they explain via a parton construction. The predicted parton mode can be observed in light scattering experiments. [Phys. Rev. B 113, 115420] Published Mon Mar 23, 2026

The AI image generation market has had an uncontested leader for months. Google's Nano Banana family of models has set the standard for quality, speed, and commercial adoption, while competitors from OpenAI to Midjourney have jockeyed for second place. That hierarchy shifted on Sunday when Luma AI, a startup better known for its Dream Machine video generation tool, publicly released Uni-1 — a model that doesn't just compete with Google on image quality but fundamentally rethinks how AI should create images in the first place. Uni-1 tops Google's Nano Banana 2 and OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 on reasoning-based benchmarks, nearly matches Google's Gemini 3 Pro on object detection, and does it all at roughly 10 to 30 percent lower cost at high resolution. In human preference tests using Elo ratings, Uni-1 takes first place in overall quality, style and editing, and reference-based generation, according to Luma. Only in pure text-to-image generation does
