Primary weapon
The EMP Frazzle Launcher is the primary weapon of the Physicist. It sprays electric shocks at its targets, shocking all enemies in its projectile path and bounces on impact. It deals 22 to 30 impact and 30 to 60 critical damage based on distance; it can deal 90 damage maximum.
An alternate ability of Sticky Explody Ball, Mega Heal Bomb is a huge ball like the Sticky Explody Ball with a bigger radius. Heals all zombies in its radius by 50 health.
An alternate ability of Warp, Energy Warp allows the Scientist to transform into pure energy (he is invincible in this state). The Scientist is able to travel freely but cannot jump or attack. It also gains a small speed boost.
An alternate ability of Zombie Heal Station, Armored Heal Station heals at a slower rate than the Zombie Health Station, and self-destructs the same time as the Zombie Heal Station. Its incredible size allows players to jump on it to get to most buildings.
The Heal Beam of Science is the Scientist's first activatable ability. Similar to Heal Beam, it will heal any zombie targeted by it, healing faster the closer the Scientist is to the healed target.

Trivia
For some reason, in Garden Ops, he will have the hair and goggles of a basic Scientist. One might think he is the normal Scientist, but has a different suit and weapon.
He is seen most of the time in the special wave "For Science."
Despite some zombies not wearing their default appearance, like the Engineer, it is actually impossible to customize the Physicist this way.
The description alludes two of the meanings of the word "conductor"; conducting a musical performance and the transfer of electricity through direct contact.
In Garden Warfare, the three Tesla Spheres on the end of the EMP Frazzle Launcher are aligned side by side in a line. After unlocking the Positronic Damage Blammer, the spheres are all connected in the shape of a triangle.
