Pansophia is an offline STEM reference for engineers, scientists, and students — 25,400+ formulas, compounds, and reference tables across 18 disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and every major field of engineering. No account. No ads. No tracking. No internet required. About a third of every discipline is free. WHY PANSOPHIA Every entry is curated, cross-referenced, and verified — not generated. When you need a decay constant, a beam capacity, or a CAS number, it has to be right, and it has to work without a signal. Built for the lab bench, the job site, and the exam desk. The kind of data you used to search for daily, or flip through a mountain of handbooks to find — now in one place. WHAT'S INSIDE - 3,000+ biological species with habitat, functions, structures, timeline - 1,200+ chemical compounds with properties, synthesis, hazards & CAS numbers - 700+ mechanical components — fasteners, bearings, hinges, latches, brackets, clamps, belts/chains, flanges, gears, couplings, pumps, pneumatics + hydraulics, etc - 500+ electronic components — transistors, op-amps, microcontrollers (Arduino/STM32/ESP32/RP2040), motors, sensors, LCDs, batteries, etc - 350+ chemistry lab reference entries — solvents, buffers (Tris/PBS/HEPES), catalysts (Pd, Grubbs, MacMillan), spectroscopy (NMR/IR/MS), HPLC/GC chromatography - 254 materials — alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, AHSS, bulk metallic glasses, high-entropy alloys, fracture toughness & creep data - 231 astronomical objects — Messier catalog, notable stars, exoplanets, black holes - 280+ structural engineering tables — AISC W/HSS shapes & beam design, RC design, NDS wood design, foundations (spread/pile/mat/retaining), seismic design, soil classification, building codes, bridges - 80+ chemical engineering reference — distillation & absorption unit ops, TEMA heat exchangers, CSTR/PFR/PBR/fluidized reactors, ASME VIII pressure vessels, API 650/620 storage tanks, relief systems, ISA-5.1 P&ID symbols, NEC/ATEX hazardous areas, HAZOP/LOPA/SIL methodology - 220+ biomedical reference entries — FDA device classes, ASTM F-series implants, ISO 10993 biocompatibility, clinical trial phases, lab values (CBC/BMP/CMP/LFTs/ABG), vital signs by age, imaging (X-ray/CT/MRI/US/PET) - 280+ pharmacology drug classes — full WHO ATC coverage with mechanism, dosing, adverse effects, interactions - 111 nuclear isotopes with cross-sections and decay data - 72 named organic reactions with reagents, conditions & mechanisms - 61 algorithms with time/space complexity analysis - 56 statistical tests with assumptions, formulas & when to use each - 48 math identities — trig, integrals, Laplace & Fourier transform pairs 18 DISCIPLINES Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Statistics & Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil & Structural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Materials Science, Astronomy & Astrophysics, Earth & Environmental BUILT-IN TOOLS - Scientific Calculator — 52 built-in constants, trig/log/factorial, history - Unit Converter — 22 unit families including electrical & magnetic - Physical Constants — 163 constants with uncertainties, searchable & copyable - Quiz & Flashcards — SM-2 spaced repetition for coursework and exam prep CROSS-DISCIPLINE CONNECTIONS 27,500+ cross-references link related concepts across fields.
