What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 14, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_scienceshot

    Search ScienceShot's science reference pages and articles on radiation and particle physics, photonics, electronics and quantum physics. Returns up to 5 pages with title, date, link and summary.

  • semiconductor_carriers

    Calculate Varshni bandgap, intrinsic and doped equilibrium carriers, Fermi level above the valence edge and conductivity for Si, Ge or GaAs. Assumes fully ionized dopants and non-degenerate statistics; conductivity uses fixed 300 K low-field mobilities and the result flags degene

  • noise_calculator

    Calculate Johnson-Nyquist thermal noise voltage, current and available power kTB, Schottky shot noise, noise figure and noise temperature (290 K reference), input noise floor and SNR in dB, and the ideal ADC quantization SNR (6.02 N + 1.76 dB) with ENOB from a measured SINAD. Cla

  • radioactive_decay

    Calculate parent and daughter activities using NuDat 3 half-lives and branching. Supply an isotope ID, initial activity and elapsed time with units.

  • xray_spectrum

    Calculate a tungsten tube spectrum, mean energy (fluence-weighted), aluminium and copper half-value layers, air kerma and the fraction of kerma removed by added filters. Uses SpekPy 2.5.4 with 12 degree anode and 2.5 mm Al inherent filtration; interpolates continuum on normalized

  • cosmic_dose

    Calculate the cosmic-ray ambient dose equivalent rate H*(10) and effective dose rate E (ICRP 116), in uSv/h, inside an aircraft cabin (0-20 km) or on the ground (0-6 km), for a latitude, longitude and solar activity, and the effective dose of a stay or flight at that place. Uses

  • gamma_dose_rate

    Compute a point-source air-kerma rate constant from listed NNDC photon lines and NIST air energy-absorption coefficients, with resolved LNHB photon supplements. Apply activity and inverse-square distance with optional line-by-line shielding; collision air kerma (mu_en/rho) is not

  • synchrotron_loss

    Calculate dipole synchrotron energy loss per turn, radiated power per beam and critical photon energy in an isomagnetic ring. Give total beam energy including rest energy, beam current and exactly one bending radius or dipole field; an optional circumference returns revolution fr

  • bragg_peak

    Calculate proton CSDA range, stopping power, Bragg peak, distal R80 and relative dose per fluence in water or ICRU soft tissue. Uses Bethe range and Bortfeld (1997) with Gaussian straggling and initial energy spread; tissue is water-equivalent and energies above 200 MeV are extra

  • diffraction_grating

    Solves the signed reflection grating equation and ideal Rayleigh resolution from Hecht, Optics, 5th edition and the MKS Newport handbook. Returns allowed order bounds, angular dispersion, illuminated groove count, linewidth, Littrow angle and local approximate free spectral range

  • image_sensor_snr

    Compare electron-domain CCD, CMOS and EMCCD signal-to-noise with binning, stacking, PRNU and saturation.

  • photodiode_responsivity

    Converts external quantum efficiency and responsivity using CODATA 2018 h, c and e, and computes photocurrent and unity-gain shot noise following Hamamatsu. Returns dark and illuminated shot-noise NEP, sourced Si/Ge/In0.53Ga0.47As bandgap thresholds and LED photon energy; exclude

  • gaussian_beam

    Gaussian propagation and thin-lens focusing from Siegman, Lasers (1986), with ISO 11146 beam propagation ratio. Returns Rayleigh range, radius, curvature, Gaussian-model Gouy phase, half-angle divergence, focused waist, depth of focus and peak intensity; phase and intensity for M

  • fibre_link_budget

    Power margin and fixed-component power reach from ITU-T G.652.D cable attenuation maxima. Returns chromatic broadening and a dispersion-limited estimate using explicit spectral width and allowed bit-period fraction; excludes chirp, PMD, nonlinearities, overload and compensation.

  • microstrip_impedance

    Calculate microstrip impedance and effective permittivity with Hammerstad-Jensen (1980) thickness correction. Returns Wheeler (1977) zero-thickness synthesis and a separate thickness-corrected H-J target width; dispersion and losses are ignored.

  • qubit_coherence

    Calculate single-qubit average fidelity under Markovian amplitude/phase damping using Nielsen (2002). Accept T1, T2 or Tphi and gate time; checks T2 <= 2T1 and returns pure dephasing, error per gate and an independent-error depth proxy, not a circuit-success guarantee.

  • hydrogen_spectrum

    Calculate reduced-mass Rydberg vacuum and standard-air wavelengths, level energies and ionization energies for H, D or a one-electron ion. Supply integer lower and upper levels; custom ions need Z and a bare nuclear mass in kg. Air uses Edlen (1966), dry air at 15 C and 101325 Pa

  • quantum_tunnelling

    Calculate the exact transmission coefficient of a one-dimensional rectangular potential barrier for an electron, proton or alpha particle, below or above the barrier height. Give particle energy and barrier height in eV and barrier width in nm; the result adds the WKB exponential

  • convert_radiation_units

    Convert a radiation value between units of the same quantity. Gy and Sv are never converted into each other: that needs a radiation weighting factor.

  • photon_attenuation

    Narrow-beam photon attenuation from NIST XCOM. Give thickness in mm and energy in keV.

  • energy_loss

    Bethe and Landau thin-absorber estimates and a CSDA range for a heavy charged particle. The range is truncated at beta*gamma 0.05; give momentum or kinetic energy and thickness.

  • material_properties

    Density, Z/A, mean excitation energy, radiation length, nuclear interaction and collision lengths, electron critical energy, Moliere radius and available melting and boiling points for 17 materials. Lengths are returned in g/cm2 and cm using the library density, alongside the NIS

    Most probable and mean electron-hole pairs, collected charge, energy deposit and Landau FWHM. Assumes full collection without gain; Si at 300 K, Ge at 77 K. Defaults: muon, 3000 MeV/c, silicon, 300 micrometres.

  • landau_distribution

    Heavy-particle energy-loss distribution with MPV, Landau FWHM, finite-transfer Bethe mean, xi, kappa, regime, peak constants and 161 Landau density points. Gaussian regimes include sigma_mev; the returned Landau curve is then inapplicable. Defaults: muon, 10000 MeV/c, silicon, 30

  • device_ledger_query

    Query the ScienceShot QEP device ledger: published measurements of qubit coherence (T1, T2), single- and two-qubit gate fidelity, readout fidelity and gate time on superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, semiconductor-spin, defect-spin and photonic devices, one cited row per

Common questions

Is ScienceShot science reference safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
