The Elements as 118 Cartoon Men I think I just fell head-over-heels in love (or at least “really strong like”) with Bunpei Yorifuji’s Wonderful Life With The Elements book. Each element becomes a character, giving a cartoonish face to their particular chemical properties. Sure, some aren’t wearing pants … but minerals do as minerals want (peek through the book preview if you don’t believe me). Periods are divided by their odd haircut choices, and the age of the element since discovery via facial hair. Other physical and chemical characteristics are evident by attire and appearance. If you’re looking for an early Christmas present for your favorite science blogger, just go ahead and put it in the mail with my name on it. So wonderful. (via io9)

The Elements as 118 Cartoon Men

I think I just fell head-over-heels in love (or at least “really strong like”) with Bunpei Yorifuji’s Wonderful Life With The Elements book. Each element becomes a character, giving a cartoonish face to their particular chemical properties. Sure, some aren’t wearing pants … but minerals do as minerals want (peek through the book preview if you don’t believe me).

Periods are divided by their odd haircut choices, and the age of the element since discovery via facial hair. Other physical and chemical characteristics are evident by attire and appearance. If you’re looking for an early Christmas present for your favorite science blogger, just go ahead and put it in the mail with my name on it.

So wonderful.

Watch an adorable 3 year-old kid sing the periodic table

Whatever element “cuteness” is made out of, well here it is at 99% purity. My heart is like the size of a beach ball right now. 

“Borin, Gadolinny, Ninoby and Reedium” BAAHHHHH! :)

For those of you not familiar with Tom Lehrer’s original tune, here it is. And here’s Daniel Radcliffe singing it, which I’m sad to say loses out to this little girl.

The Periodic Table Table

Theo Gray takes collecting to the next (orbital) level. In addition to being an author and co-founder of Wolfram Research, he’s spent years on a special side project: The Periodic Table Table.

Inside, he has put samples of every element he can get his hands on (minus the super-dangerous ones). It’s like a chemistry lesson via interactive furniture. It also proves that you can pretty much buy anything on eBay, even a silicon disc with Homer Simpson on it.
