Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free, open-source physics lab with more than twenty solvers, a native 3D app, and interfaces for AI agents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.

For: Physics researchers, simulation builders, and AI-agent developers
Worth noticing: Its 13 “flags” frame open challenges around real-world measurements, and the page links to reference entries and a leaderboard.

Field notes

The download is source code rather than an installer: the page gives macOS build steps and Debian or Ubuntu dependencies for a headless build. Scenarios can be run from JSON, and the site links each featured simulation to its scenario and verification material. It also describes automated headless tests on pushes and pull requests; packaged builds are not yet published, and a Windows port is left to contributors.
