All simulations on Physics Zone have been updated to use a locally hosted version of the CreateJS library instead of an external one. This simple change means:
CreateJS is the JavaScript library we use to animate and control simulation visuals. Hosting it locally reduces delays and improves speed.
Enjoy the smoother experience — and thank you for using Physics Zone!
Touch support has been restored for all interactive simulations. Draggable elements now work properly on modern smartboards, Promethean boards, and Windows touchscreen devices.
The paper: Using a web-based and stand-alone oscilloscope for physics experiment during Covid-19 pandemic, Mahizah Ismail et al (2023), Phys. Educ. 58 015006, is based on the Virtual Oscilloscope simulation. This paper was authored by Mahizah Ismail, Farid Minawi, Wan Zul Adli Wan Mokhtar, Noraihan L Abdul Rashid and Ahmad K Ariffin.

Quick update for iOS users: all Physics Zone simulations now run smoothly on iPhones, iPads, and Macs after fixing the full-screen toggle issue.
The probe waveform display in Interference of Waves Simulation now renders mathematically perfect sinusoidal waves, making phase relationships and superposition easier to observe and more reliable as a teaching and learning tool.
