Find a science model
search_modelsUse this when the user asks how something works or why something happens in physics, engineering, AI, biology and medicine, earth and space science or mathematics, or asks to see or try a mechanism: e.g. “why do we have seasons”, “how does a jet engine work”, “潮汐是怎么形成的”, “Transformer 的注意力是什么”. Searches the interactive 3D models (“plates”) on world.lapla.si: first an index of the questions each plate answers (Chinese and English), then titles and topics. Returns the best plates, each with its slug, the chapter that answers the question and sometimes lab settings, to pass to show_model. Returns no results when no plate covers the question. Not for news, prices, homework calculations, or medical, legal or financial advice.
