Like your taxi, powered by atomic numbers you might say. . I actually memorized much of the periodic table in high school. Now I sometimes forget my own telephone number. P.S. Unfortunately I don't have any periodic table photos to share. Might be an interesting project. P.P.S. Then again, there is already no shortage of PT images on Alamy.

Colin Woods Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I had no idea that it was the year of the periodic table. Great that it is though, it’s a work of enormous beauty and elegance and for me its elucidation by Mendeleev stands as one of the greatest insights in the whole of science.

Maybe so, but you have to admit that the lab explosions were cool. I see in the "what to shoot" pages that someone has been looking unsuccessfully for images of circular and spiral periodic tables. Not sure I've ever seen any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be niche there for an enterprising science stock photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
