Two new Google Nexus devices are prepped for release with the new Android L OS. While both devices don't have any solid release dates yet, at least fans of the Nexus 6 and Nexus 8 can rest assured that the Android L will soon be available on those devices.

Android L was developed to improve the overall Google experience on Android-compatible mobile devices. One of the many core features included in Android L is Material Design which is supposed to improve Google's Search performance across a wide range of devices.

Material Design was first created with mobile devices in mind, but this feature might soon spread across all platforms that use Google's services. In fact, even before the announcement of Android L and its release to the Nexus 6 and 8, it has already been gradually rolled out on the Google Play Store.

Designer, Jon Wiley, who works on Google's Search engine design hosted a Reddit Q&A thread (otherwise known as AMA or Ask Me Anything). This allowed him to answers many questions regarding the need for Material Design.

"I'm one of the instigators of Material Design. It actually came about a couple of years ago when we were working on a design problem involving Google Search. I was looking at mobile results on cards and I asked "What is this made of?' People gave me funny looks, like "What do you mean? It's just pixels.' But I didn't think that was a good answer," Wiley says on the AMA.

He adds, "When you physically interact with software - actually touching the cards and links and buttons, etc. - you bring a lot of expectations around how physical objects behave. If the interface isn't thoughtful about those expectations - if it's just a bunch of pixels - it leaves you with a rather unsatisfying and inauthentic experience."

Essentially, Material Design is there to make the Google Search experience more authentic and satisfying. This won't affect just the search engine though, as it could have something to do with the operating system as a whole.

Google has not released that many details as of yet, but scouring the extensive AMA page might just answer a few lingering questions.
