Neptunium T-Shirt

Dive into our "Neptunium T-Shirt", an artfully-crafted piece from our exclusive "Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" collection, designed to ignite curiosity about the universe we inhabit. The shirt sports a distinctly nostalgic visual style, capturing the essence of vintage scientific textbooks with modern flair. The design is driven by the subtle and elegant charm of line art, creating a unique illustration of the Neptunium element. The aesthetically pleasing combination of lines, dots, and curves not only give a nod to the rich history of scientific discovery but also make for an edgy, eye-catching piece that's sure to ignite conversations wherever you go.

Neptunium, represented by the symbol Np on the periodic table, is a fascinating element with a storied past. Discovered in 1940 by a team of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, it was the first transuranium element to be synthesized, marking a significant milestone in the field of nuclear chemistry. Named after the planet Neptune, it follows a naming tradition in the periodic table where elements are named after the planet next to the one that lent its name to the previously discovered element. In this case, Uranium (Uranus) was found before Neptunium. With a half-life of over two million years, Neptunium-237, the most common isotope of Neptunium, is a testament to the enduring nature of scientific discovery.
