Threads lets you ask follow-up questions within the same search, creating a continuous and natural way to explore scientific research.
Instead of starting over with each new query, Threads keeps your context so you can dive deeper into the research. It’s a more efficient way to search by now having a conversation with the science. Your research becomes faster, more natural, and more aligned with how you actually think and work.
