We’re announcing a research collaboration with @CFS_energy, one of the world’s leading nuclear fusion companies.

Together, we’re helping speed up the development of clean, safe, limitless fusion power with AI. ⚛️ Fusion powers the sun, but here on Earth, one approach involves controlling a super-hot, ionized gas called plasma inside a tokamak machine.

To predict power generation, we need to simulate how heat, electric current and matter flow through the core of a plasma and interact with systems around it. This is where TORAX comes in.

Veo is getting a major upgrade. 🚀

We’re rolling out Veo 3.1, our updated video generation model, alongside improved creative controls for filmmakers, storytellers, and developers - many of them with audio. 🧵 🎥 Introducing Veo 3.1

We’re announcing a major advance in the study of fluid dynamics with AI 💧 in a joint paper with researchers from @BrownUniversity, @nyuniversity and @Stanford. Equations to describe fluid motion - like airflow lifting an airplane wing or the swirling vortex of a hurricane - can sometimes "break," predicting impossible, infinite values.

These "singularities" are a huge mystery in mathematical physics.

We’re helping to unlock the mysteries of the universe with AI. 🌌

Our novel Deep Loop Shaping method
published in @ScienceMagazine could help astronomers observe more events like collisions and mergers of black holes in greater detail, and gather more data about rare space phenomena. 🧵 Astronomers already know a lot about the smallest and largest black holes. ⚫
