Paging through The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe is almost like going on an acid trip. Bright colors, textured images, constant enlightenment. And when you're finished with it, you actually will be smarter and more knowing. With no associated risk of permanent anxiety, psychosis, or mental retardation!
Jump down Theodore Gray's rabbit hole and have a look at the periodic table's 118 elements expanded into an original collection of mesmerizing photographic representations, scientific and historical facts, and stories of what beryllium and antimony were like as kids. The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe depicts what we used to commit to rote memory in junior high in their pure, uncombined forms. Gray put 7 years of effort into researching the book and gathering its photos, all of which make full-page color appearances alongside their descriptions and property data.
Each primary photo aims to capture the element in its purest form. Oxygen, for example, is shown as the pale blue liquid it becomes at -183 degrees C. Supplemental photographs also show each element in slightly altered forms or as used in various practical ways.
The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe also includes a tear-out poster of Theodore Gray's Photographic Periodic Table.

Gallium - Melts-in-Your-Hand Metal
The chemical element Gallium does not exist in pure form in nature, but since it's so magical and badass looking all solid-to-liquid-at-the-touch-of-a-human-hand and all, of course man figured out a way to extract it...
Tritium Keychains
Two things. One maybe you already know, one probably you don't. 1) Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, and its natural occurrence on earth is extremely rare. However, the dopeness that is humankind can produce...
Aerogel - World's Lightest Solid
Not only is aerogel the world's lightest solid with a composition of 99.8% air (carbon dioxide) and 0.2% silica gel, and not only does it have sick nicknames, such as "frozen smoke" and "blue smoke", but it also has the...
/tungsten-sphere-58467.jpg?mode=crop "Tungsten Sphere")
Tungsten Sphere
I'd call the Tungsten Sphere a desktop toy, but given its high density - at just about 2" in diameter the sphere weighs over 3 pounds - I'm not sure how much fiddling or stress-relieving palm rolls you'll be able to do...
Gallium Spoon Mold
Now that you know about the weird science of gallium, you're probably wondering what the WTF you can do with it once you've scored a nugget. My suggestion: spoon prank...
Liquid Mercury
I think metal is OK, and I think liquid is OK, but for some reason if you put them together, "OK" turns into SO FUCKING RAD. (Huh. I just realized I feel similarly about vodka and this girl Karin I know). And when it...

Uranium Ore
This jar of Uranium Ore--or, as I like to call it, Instant Mutant Candy--contains real samples of NORM, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials. Each container's label lists its contents' Counts Per Minute activity...

Glow Rhino Tritium EDC Gear
Sure, Glow Rhino's tritium-studded tools will add some swagger to your EDC. But when things go dark, and the self-powered light source kicks in to glow neon bright as a beacon to your keys, your beer cap, your roaming...
Interactive Ferrofluid Sculptures
In researching all of the uses for Interactive Ferrofluid Sculptures, I found myself continuously returning to one standout: time waster. The hypnotizing borosilicate glass vials filled with mutable elemental amoebas...

Trinitite Specimen
You can cook up Trinitite only in a nuclear kitchen. The material comes from the US' nuclear test blast of the Trinity Bomb in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. It was Dr. Frankensteined when the intense heat of the explosion...
The Periodic Table of Middle Earth
Featuring characters from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, I'd say The Periodic Table of Middle Earth would rank very close to the top of a list of Geekiest Items a Human Being Could Own. (I specified human being...

Radioactive Glass Marbles
These Radioactive Glass Marbles remind me of a New Year's Eve tradition / superstition. Some say if you can eat 12 grapes in as many strokes of midnight when the year changes over, you will have good luck and prosperity...
