Are you a curious student eager to explore deeper into the physics world? Are you a science enthusiast who wants to share your ideas with others? Are you an adventurer bounded by textbook instructions and budget limits? Are you a romantic dreaming of having your own customized galaxy? Are you a teacher who wants to use fun and interactive demonstrations in your physics lessons? Learn science by doing experiments in your virtual lab with Physics Lab. With our new AR mode, you can even bring your experiments to life! In Physics Lab, you can play with various circuit components, build your own 3D electric circuits, and see how they work in real time. With 100+ circuit components to choose from (and more coming soon), the possibilities are endless. Plus, all of our experiments are backed by science and calculated with precise numbers, so you can learn and have fun at the same time. Physics Lab is not only for students, but for teachers too! Use it to demonstrate experiments in class, and help your students learn and explore in a new way. And because it's virtual, you don't have to worry about expensive lab equipment or safety concerns. Explore with freedom - Pick from 100+ circuit components (more coming!) - Drag them from the toolbox to the virtual desk and connect them the way you like - All experiment results are backed by science and calculated in precise numbers - Design your own galaxy or load from our solar system - Electromagnetic experiments with field line visualization Better than real life - Set properties of circuit components to different figures and observe changes of behavior and stats in real time - One-click to turn what you have built into an editable circuit diagram and vice versa - No expenses on lab equipments, no worry about safety issues A lab for everyone - Teachers have been using Physics Lab to demonstrate experiments and assist teaching in class - Students, in primary or high schools, can learn science and explore freely anywhere, anytime - Kids or not, curious minds now have their own virtual lab to learn knowledge by doing experiments Whether you're a teacher, student, or just someone who loves learning about physics, Physics Lab has something for everyone.

Your formulas, saved the way you'll actually want to find them again. Equation Toolbox stores each formula with what every letter means and the unit it's in — not as a photo of a page, but as real structure you can search, edit and solve. SOLVE FOR ANY VARIABLE Open a formula, type in the values you know, and leave the one you don't blank. It solves for that one. No rearranging by hand. When the algebra won't isolate cleanly, it falls back to a numeric answer. BUILT AROUND WHAT A FORMULA ACTUALLY IS Every equation you save keeps: • A name you'll still recognise in three weeks • The formula itself, properly typeset • One row per variable — the symbol, what it means, and its unit • Tags and notes for anything else worth remembering ORGANISE BY CLASS Make folders for the courses you're actually taking. An equation can sit in more than one, because half of them do. Favourite the ones you reach for most and they stay at the top of your home screen. FIND IT FAST Search covers names, variables and tags — so you can find a formula by the letter you remember, not just by its title. ON YOUR PHONE AND IN YOUR BROWSER Sign in once. Anything you save on your phone is waiting for you at equationtoolbox.com, and anything you add there shows up here. SHARE A FORMULA Send any equation as a clean card, with its symbols, descriptions and units on it. Free. Built for the physics, chemistry, calculus and engineering students who are tired of scrolling back through a camera roll to find one formula.
