What did science look like in the 18th century? 🔬 To find out, The Royal Society and Google Arts & Culture have collaborated to bring Benjamin Franklin’s original manuscripts to NotebookLM, our AI-powered research tool that helps you get a deeper understanding of any topic. Building on a 10-year partnership, this new project uses AI to make complex, 18th-century documents machine-readable. Instead of just reading history, NotebookLM allows you to engage directly with Franklin's legacy. You can use the "Chat" panel to ask questions about the invention of the lightning rod, listen to a podcast-style Audio Overview, or test your knowledge with a custom quiz. Check out the video to see how NotebookLM can contextualize these incredible historical sources. Ready to dive into the archives?
