Google has been innovating its products and making the lives of the people easier by improving mobile searches with the help of rich cards and a new scientific application. 

According to Tech Times, rich cards is a new format on Google that will simply show the search results in card forms, in which the consumers are allowed to scroll through in a "carousel way." As a result, the search will be more efficient and can save the browsing time effectively.

The rich cards are targeting to improve the online probing and searching on mobile devices. For those who are not so familiar with the latest Google enhancement, the search results will show a thumbnail or a "rich snippet" above the brief details about the desired subject.

"Rich cards are a new Search result format building on the success of rich snippets," as per Google Blog. Just like rich snippets, rich cards use schema.org structured markup to display content in an even more engaging and visual format, with a focus on providing a better mobile user experience."

While Google tries to hit two birds with a stone- by making the search results more visually appealing while providing an easier way to browse the results, the developers and the people behind the development are still pushing hard for more enhancements.

On the other hand, Google made another ingenious idea possible by allowing the public to do a thorough scientific research with the help of a new application called 'Science Journal.'

The Verge reported that this new scientific app has tools like accelerometer, plus light and sound meters, which are helpful for Science projects. Users can track their running time every day and then make a line graph to see the improvement, as the website exampled.

Google might accompany a "hands-on learning kits" which includes external sensors, microcontrollers, and other helpful scientific tools. This newest innovation is still a work in progress, but it is expected to be introduced this summer.
