Interactive simulations for physics and science.
Opticore
Trace rays through mirrors, lenses and refractive media.
Lorentz Force
Trace charged particles through electric and magnetic fields.
Maxwell Distribution
Watch particle speeds settle into the Maxwell–Boltzmann curve.

Opticore — Ray Optics Sandbox
Opticore is now live on Scinopy. It is an interactive ray optics simulation where you can build and explore optical systems directly in your browser — no install, no plugins.
What you can do:
- Place laser sources and aim them freely in any direction
- Add plane mirrors, glass slabs, prisms, thin lenses, and refractive interfaces
- Watch rays trace and refract in real time as you drag, rotate, or resize any element
- See image construction lines that show exactly where virtual and real images form
- Toggle angle labels to read the angle of incidence and refraction at every surface
- Measure distances with the built-in ruler and overlay a protractor for angular measurements
- Enable the paraxial engine to overlay ideal thin-lens focal predictions alongside full ray traces
- Zoom and pan the workspace freely, with a live scale bar for reference
- Undo and redo any change to the scene
- Fullscreen mode on desktop; auto-landscape prompt on mobile phones
