Periodic Table Table

I dig this Periodic Table Table that appeared on MAKE. One commenter there says he thinks it's from the Wake Forest University campus in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Great idea for a... science park. (Thanks, Lindsay Tiemeyer!)

  A little higher and it would make one lovely backyard bar.

  • [stegodon]

    of course, you would have to drink from beakers

• [RedShirt77]

  That is a nice periodic bench.

  • [dculberson]

    A periodic bench seems like what you would use to sit at an occasional table.

• [wackyvorlon]

  Oooh! A bench made of lanthanides! Or are they the actinides? I can’t remember….

  @ #12:

  The problem is, all elements have radioactive isotopes:)

• [JJR1971]

  They should put lights under the radioactive elements so they glow.

• [Anonymous]

  Yes- that’s definitely the periodic table from Wake Forest! It’s right outside of the chemistry building (appropriately).

• [nanuq]

  Do they expand the bench to make room for more trans-uranic elements? It stops at 103.

  • [mdh]

    Those elements go on the trans-uranic BBQ.

  • [Lobster]

    No, the trans-uranic elements go on the periodic toilet of elements.

• [t3knomanser]

  It’s a nice table, but I couldn’t see myself using it every day. It’s more of a periodic table.

  //There’s a MST3K reference for everything.

• [I less than three mermaids]

  I think I would feel odd sitting on Plutonium. It didn’t work out so well last time I tried it.

  • [mdh]

    better to have it on the bench than on the table where someone might accidentally put a salad bowl on it.

  #elements ~ # keys, so would make a nice keyboard mod for a touch typing chemist.
