No, nothing can kill the Google, but Wolfram Alpha sounds intriguing. Check out the screenshots here. It's supposed to launch this month, but so far there's no word of the exact release date.
It's not exactly a "Google Killer" like Cuil* purported to be, but it looks as if it could occupy an interested niche somewhere between Google and Wikipedia. However, if I were the person behind Wolfram, I'd be terrified that Google would take one look at it and decide to throw $200 million behind the development of a superior competitor.
*O yea, remember Cuil? It was supposed to be awesome when it launched last summer, and thus far it's been an utter failure.
Update: Here's the first official screencast video from Wolfram Alpha. Looks pretty cool.
