Description: A gut-wrenching Chlorine design. Chlorine is a chemical element with symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the halogens, it appears between fluorine and bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. Brought to you by Periodic-Tees.com
Description: A classy Californium design. Californium is a radioactive metallic chemical element with symbol Cf and atomic number 98. The element was first made in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, by bombarding curium with alpha particles (helium-4 ions). It is an actinide element, the sixth transuranium element to be synthesized, and has the second-highest atomic mass of all the elements that have been produced in amounts large enough to see with the unaided eye (after einsteinium).

Description: On April 19, 1943 medical research chemist Albert Hofmann, intrigued by the effects after an accidental exposure, tested an ergotamine he had derived while seeking a treatment of migraine/respiratory problems. Confused by the effects of the first LSD trip, he rode his bicycle home to rest in bed till he felt better. He never felt better but he did come down and spent the rest of his life exploring and promoting the use of the psychoactive compound as it benefits mankind. Bicycle Day celebrates this event and Hofmann’s discovery.
Description: “Can I Lick It?”—the periodic table for your inner toddler and outer chemist. From “probably fine” to “please write your will,” this chart ranks the elements by tongue-regret. Great for anyone who’s ever looked at sodium and thought, “Na,” or at uranium and thought, “also Na.” Hang it up, crack a joke, and teach one unforgettable safety lesson.
Description: Are you trapped on the border between crabby Generation X and the overly cheerful Millennials? Do you get both early game consoles and cool nineties fashion? Declare your special identity as a niche generation and an Xennial with this (purposely cheugy) periodic table of the elements shirt.
Description: A headline-worthy Darmstadtium design. Darmstadtium is a chemical element with symbol Ds and atomic number 110. It is an extremely radioactive synthetic element. The most stable known isotope, darmstadtium-281, has a half-life of approximately 10 seconds. Brought to you by Periodic-Tees.com
