Technical physics diagrams
Generate labeled diagrams of physical systems, experimental setups, Feynman diagrams, energy level schemes, and circuit diagrams for papers, talks, and grant applications.
Draw a schematic diagram of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer showing the beam splitters, mirrors, phase modulator, and detector.
Generated labeled schematic: input beam → 50/50 BS → two paths (upper with phase modulator φ, lower as reference) → recombination at 50/50 BS → two output detectors D₁ and D₂. Includes intensity equations for constructive/destructive interference.
Deep research on physics topics
Compile multi-source research reports on any area of physics — from theoretical frameworks to experimental benchmarks. Synthesize the current evidence base quickly for review papers, proposal sections, and conference presentations.
Research the current state of room-temperature superconductivity claims — what has been published, what has been retracted, and what the current experimental consensus is.
Compiled 24-source report: Dias/Rochester LK-99 claims retracted following failed replication; CSH₃ at 288K under 267 GPa (Nature, 2020) partially contested; Korean LK-99 ambient-pressure claim not replicated. Current consensus: no confirmed room-temperature superconductor. Active fronts: cuprates under pressure, hydrides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Academic Research include arXiv preprints?
Academic Research focuses on indexed peer-reviewed publications. For arXiv preprints, supplementary queries using Deep Research with arXiv-specific targeting can surface relevant preprints alongside the journal literature.
What NASA data sources does the Space Data tool cover?
Space Data covers NASA APOD, near-Earth object tracking (CNEOS), solar weather alerts (DONKI), and Mars mission data. It returns real-time and historical data from the official NASA APIs.
Can the diagram generator produce accurate Feynman diagrams?
Diagram Generator can produce schematic Feynman-style diagrams from text descriptions showing particle lines, vertices, and interaction types. For precisely typeset diagrams meeting journal standards, the output is best used as a draft to finalize in dedicated tools.
Is Grants Finder useful for large-scale physics facility proposals?
Grants Finder covers standard investigator-initiated grants from DOE, NSF, and international agencies. For major facility or equipment proposals (e.g., DOE Major Items of Equipment), it surfaces the relevant program announcements, though these proposals require institutional channels.
Can Night Sky data support telescope scheduling software?
Night Sky returns planetary ephemeris data, rise/set times, and sky conditions for any location and date. While it supports manual observation planning well, integration with telescope scheduling software would require exporting the data and using it in conjunction with your scheduling system.
