Frequently asked questions

What does "featured" mean here?▾

It's an editorial pick, not a ranking by traffic or an algorithm. Each simulation was chosen to be a strong, self-explanatory example of its category — something you could show someone in 30 seconds to demonstrate what the site does.

Is a featured simulation better or more accurate than a non-featured one?▾

No — accuracy and depth vary by topic, not by featured status. A sim is featured for being a particularly clear, polished entry point into its field, not because the physics is more correct than elsewhere on the site.

Do I need to install anything to run these simulations?▾

No. Everything runs entirely in your browser — no downloads, plugins or accounts. Works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari; most simulations also work on mobile.

Can I use these simulations for teaching?▾

Yes — all content is free for educational use under CC BY 4.0. Link to any simulation directly or embed it in your LMS with an iframe; no API key required.
