Visualizing the Invisible: How Nano Banana 2 Turns Dense Science into Stunning Art

Disclaimer: As a Google Developer Expert (GDE), I was incredibly fortunate to be invited by Google DeepMind to test these models internally before their public release. The capabilities I'm sharing today are based on my hands-on early access.

Have you ever stared at a dense, 15-page academic paper and wished you could just see what the researchers were talking about? As someone who frequently reads and writes heavy technical research, I face this constantly.

Today, Google is introducing Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3.1 Flash Image). It is the latest state-of-the-art image model, and it is here to completely change how we interact with complex information. By bringing advanced world knowledge and reasoning to the high-speed Flash lineup, Nano Banana 2 dramatically closes the gap between lightning-fast generation speed and breathtaking visual fidelity.

To put this to the test, I took two of my own highly technical research papers, uploaded the PDFs directly into the workflow, and asked Nano Banana 2 to act as a creative storyteller. I wanted it to explain the core concepts and generate the perfect visuals to tell their story.

Here is how Nano Banana 2 effortlessly bridged the gap between complex science and visual art.

Use Case 1: Quantum Semantics & Precision Infographics

Karanjai, Rabimba, et al. "QuCoWE: Quantum Contrastive Word Embeddings with Variational Circuits for Near-Term Quantum Devices." International Workshop on Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence. Cham: Springer Nature Switzerland, 2026.

First, I uploaded a paper titled "QuCoWE: Quantum Contrastive Word Embeddings with Variational Circuits for Near-Term Quantum Devices". This research explores a framework that learns quantum-native word embeddings by training parameterized quantum circuits. Instead of treating words as flat numbers, it maps them to shallow, hardware-efficient circuits with data re-uploading and controlled ring entanglement. It utilizes quantum properties like complex amplitudes, superposition, and entanglement to capture the deep, shifting semantic relationships of human language.



I asked Nano Banana 2 to parse this document and create an infographic explaining the concept.

Intelligence at Flash Speed: Nano Banana 2 leverages Gemini’s real-world knowledge base and real-time web search grounding to actually comprehend the physics and logic required for the visualization. Furthermore, its breakthrough precision text rendering and built-in translation allow us to generate assets with perfectly spelled typography in multiple languages, so you can share your ideas globally.

Here is the exact prompt I used to generate the image:

A sleek, modern 3D infographic illustrating a "Quantum Word Embedding" on a dark background. Show a glowing, ethereal sphere representing a central word, connected by luminescent fiber-optic threads to other floating spheres. Include highly precise, legible white text labels pointing to different parts of the infographic: "Superposition", "Parameter Shift", and "Quantum Fidelity". Below the main title, include the Spanish translation: "Semántica Cuántica". Use an isometric perspective with cinematic volumetric lighting and rich organic textures.

And what I got


Use Case 2: Multi-Agent Smart Contracts & Unprecedented Subject Control

Karanjai, Rabimba, Lei Xu, and Weidong Shi. "Securing Smart Contract Languages with a Unified Agentic Framework for Vulnerability Repair in Solidity and Move." 2025 2nd IEEE/ACM International Conference on AI-powered Software (AIware). IEEE, 2025.

Next, I uploaded a paper detailing "Securing Smart Contract Languages with a Unified Agentic Framework for Vulnerability Repair in Solidity and Move". This paper introduces Smartify, a multi-agent framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically detect and repair vulnerabilities in Solidity and Move smart contracts. Instead of a single AI, Smartify acts as a collaborative alliance of exactly five specialized agents: an Auditor, an Architect, a Code Generator, a Refiner, and a Validator.




I asked Nano Banana 2 to creatively visualize this multi-agent security squad.

Subject Consistency & Precision: Visualizing a specific, multi-character team requires strict adherence to complex prompts. Nano Banana 2 brings unprecedented control to your workflow. You can maintain character resemblance for up to five distinct characters and preserve the high-fidelity rendering of up to 14 specific objects in a single generation. It ensures the image you get is exactly the one you asked for.

Here is the exact prompt I used to generate the image:

A cinematic wide shot of exactly five distinct, futuristic robotic sentinels standing around a glowing holographic ledger. The scene must strictly feature these five characters. Spread around the glowing ledger are exactly 14 detailed objects: 5 floating data tablets, 4 metallic security shields, 3 glowing blue memory drives, and 2 silver diagnostic tools. Render in 4K resolution with vibrant neon rim lighting, ensuring hyper-detailed textures on the metallic armor of the sentinels.



The Power Behind the Pixels

Nano Banana 2 isn't just about understanding the prompt; it's about delivering a flawless final product.

  • High-Fidelity Output: Create attention-grabbing assets with full control over aspect ratios and resolutions from a highly efficient 512px all the way up to stunning 4K. Experience vibrant lighting, richer textures, and sharper details, all while maintaining high-quality aesthetics at the speed expected from the Flash lineup.
  • SynthID & C2PA: As generative capabilities scale, so does Google's commitment to transparency. They are deepening this commitment by coupling SynthID technology with interoperable C2PA Content Credentials. This provides downstream users and platforms with a holistic, tamper-evident view of how AI was used in the creative process.

Build With Nano Banana 2 Today

Ecosystem Integration: Nano Banana 2 is built to fit seamlessly into the tools you already use. It is rolling out today as the new default in the Gemini app and Flow. For developers and enterprise users, it is available in preview via the Gemini API in Google AI Studio and Vertex AI, and is fully integrated into Google Antigravity.

Give it a try with your own complex documents, and let me know what incredible visuals you create!

Deep Dive into the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK): Features and Code Examples

In our previous overview, we introduced the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) as a powerful Python framework for building sophisticated AI agents. Now, let's dive deeper into some of the specific features that make ADK a compelling choice for developers looking to create agents that can reason, plan, use tools, and interact effectively with the world. 1. The Core: Configuring the `LlmAgent` The heart of most ADK applications is the LlmAgent (aliased as Agent for convenience). This agent uses a Large Language Model (LLM) for its core reasoning and decision-making. Configuring it effectively is key: name (str): A unique identifier for your agent within the application. model (str | BaseLlm): Specify the LLM to use. You can provide a model name string (like 'gemini-1.5-flash') or an instance of a model class (e.g., Gemini() ). ADK resolves string names using its registry. instruction (str | Callable): This is crucial for guiding the agent's be...

Curious case of Cisco AnyConnect and WSL2

One thing Covid has taught me is the importance of VPN. Also one other thing COVID has taught me while I work from home  is that your Windows Machine can be brilliant  as long as you have WSL2 configured in it. So imagine my dismay when I realized I cannot access my University resources while being inside the University provided VPN client. Both of the institutions I have affiliation with, requires me to use VPN software which messes up WSL2 configuration (which of course I realized at 1:30 AM). Don't get me wrong, I have faced this multiple times last two years (when I was stuck in India), and mostly I have been lazy and bypassed the actual problem by side-stepping with my not-so-noble  alternatives, which mostly include one of the following: Connect to a physical machine exposed to the internet and do an ssh tunnel from there (not so reliable since this is my actual box sitting at lab desk, also not secure enough) Create a poor man's socks proxy in that same box to have...
