This little anatomical design is close to our hearts, the perfect gift for those you love that love science as much as we do. Just in time for Valentine's! Buying from us directly supports our charitable activities, such as support to engage with science for disadvantaged schools.

The Royal Institution was founded in March 1799 with the aim of introducing new technologies and teaching science to the general public. Over the past 222 years many scientific advancements have been made, discussed and unveiled to the world in our iconic theatre. And as it's the scientists making those advances who have made the Ri what it is today, we're celebrating some of our very own legends with this iconic design.

Wear your, well ... absolutely everything! on your sleeve with our Standard Model t-shirt. In the 1970s, scientists established that everything is built from a few basic building blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four fundamental forces – and they expressed these findings with the Standard Model. It has been used to inform our knowledge of how these particles act with one another and has successfully explained almost all experimental results and precisely predicted a variety of phenomena since then.

No cats were harmed in the making of this design! In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment that illustrates a paradox of quantum superposition. A hypothetical cat may be considered simultaneously both alive and dead as a result of its fate being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur.

I don't know about you, but we're a bit peckish... Enjoy a tasty slice of pi(e) with this new mathematics inspired design! Pi is one of the most well-known mathematical constants and is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. For any circle, the distance around the edge is a little more than three times the distance across.
