Rubidium | Music From the Periodic Table

Explore the soundtrack to the universe with Music from the Periodic Table, a weekly music listening series featuring compositions by the Exploratorium Sound Artist Wayne Grim. This week we’re tuning into Rubidium. -- Be in your elements every Friday to listen to pieces inspired by the elements, originally composed by Wayne for the Exploratorium’s talk series, Everything Matters: Tales from the Periodic Table. The periodic table outlines the fundamental building blocks of all known matter in the universe. Arriving from the Big Bang, the fusion wombs of stars and supernova, and collisions between interstellar matter and cosmic rays—and through production in the lab—the 118 elements currently arrayed on the periodic table display unique and beautifully related properties and behaviors.
