Periodic Tableware is one reason why people invent new words. Like "mud-licious" and "puddle-wonderful" and, most appropriate to this case, "geektastic." This collection of scientific glassware transformed into vessels for transporting equally scientific libations is too nerdy to be completely cool, too classy to be completely nerdy, and too cool to be completely classy. Erlenmeyer flask decanters, beaker highball glasses, and infinitely invertible wine/martini glasses all made according to the iconic clean, exacting aesthetics of a laboratory? Geektastic.
Periodic Tableware is created in and shipped from the USA, hand-assembled in a Connecticut design-build studio. Down anything from your Tom Collins to your shot of Cuervo using one of the laboratory's tailored glasses or servers. My favorites are the Erlenmeyer flask martini glasses, a set of 4 x 12-ounce martini cones set atop flask bases filled with what I can only assume are melted Skittles or melted Sesame Street characters. Additional Periodic Tableware offerings include:
- Beaker Rocks & Highball Glasses
- Erlenmeyer Decanter with Glass Stopper & Handle
- Infinity Invertable Wine/Martini Glass
- Laboratory Beaker Wine Glass

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...

The Complete Home Bar Product Guide
Stocking a home bar might be the only household chore on earth I would describe as "joyous." From glassware for beer, wine, and whiskey, to the bottle opening, cork-pulling, cocktail-shaking tools of the bartending trade...

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...
Mad Scientist Absinthe Kits
Sometimes it's fun to play mad scientist. Particularly when doing so involves hallucinogens. OK, so they removed the thujone component from absinthe, but still, 80% of any experience is perception, right? So if I think...
Levitating CUP Zero Gravity Drinkware
We've seen levitation around here before. A lot. In speakers. In lamps. In freakin' bonsai trees. But the Levitating CUP still make
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...
German Light Bulb Voltage Tester Bar
Here's a bar cart inspired by a 1920s light bulb voltage tester salvaged from a German factory. Because, why not? Steampunk is in. Light bulbs are a strangely hot topic these days. Giant, 265-pou

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...
