Alexander Arrangement | 3D Periodic Table
Click image to enlarge
From Theodore Gray:
The Alexander Arrangement is a three-dimensional paper sculpture of the periodic table designed by Roy Alexander, with whom I collaborated on this version. For the first time this clever form of the table has been combined with my photographs of real element samples, resulting in a quite lovely object.
The Alexander Arrangement deals with the fundamental problem of gaps in the traditional arrangement of the periodic table by wrapping the transition metals and the lanthanides/actinides into loops, so all the elements that are supposed to be next to each other actually are next to each other. You can read it as a complete spiral loop through all the elements without any gaps.
The table is printed on top-grade, heavy paper printed on both sides, and includes detailed instructions for assembly. The result is a sturdy object you can carry around, put on a table, hang as a mobile, or, if you're like me, use as a tree-topper for a festive seasonal science tree. "It takes about 10 minutes to put together if you don't read the instructions," Theodore tells us. "No idea how long if you do read them, that's not the kind of thing I would stoop to."Via BoingBoing

Database of Periodic Tables
For the past month I've been doing the Sporcle quiz, Can You Name the Elements of the Periodic Table? The most I've gotten right is 117 out of 118 elements -- there's always at least one I can't remember, although it's not always the same one. This effort made me curious about how the elements of the table are organized and how the data is presented visually to show relationshjps and led me to the Internet Database of Periodic Tables.
