Protactinium T-Shirt

Meet our "Protactinium T-Shirt," an intriguing piece from the "Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" collection. This delightful work of wearable art captures the essence of the 91st element, Protactinium, with an aesthetic best described as line art. The design is an homage to the simplicity and elegance of line drawings, giving it a nostalgic feel that takes you back to chemistry class. The clever use of lines and shapes not only represents the atomic structure of Protactinium but also adds an appealing geometric touch to this stylish tee.

Now, let's delve a little into the interesting world of Protactinium. Named from the Greek 'protos,' meaning first, Protactinium was discovered in 1913 by Kasimir Fajans and O.H. Göhring, who found it to be the decay product of uranium-238. It's an element that doesn't naturally occur in large quantities due to its highly radioactive nature, and it's one of the rarest and most expensive naturally occurring elements. In the universe, Protactinium is primarily formed by supernovae through the r-process, a series of nuclear reactions that result in the creation of heavy, unstable and radioactive elements. So, wearing this shirt doesn't just make a fashion statement - it's also a nod to the fascinating world of nuclear chemistry and the mysteries of the cosmos.
