ScienceShot science reference
Sourced, citable answers in radiation and particle physics, photonics, electronics and quantum.
What it does
ScienceShot science reference is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

Returns Wheeler (1977) zero-thickness synthesis and a separate thickness-corrected H-J target width; dispersion and losses are ignqubit_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, nothydrogen_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 Edlquantum_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 inconvert_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.

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
