some PREVIOUS BOXES
LUNAR DUST SIMULANT
We work with several labs that create cutting-edge materials for scientific research. One such material was this soil that was engineered to be chemically and physically identical to the surface dust of the moon.
GOLDEN RATIO (ϕ) CALIPER
Our laboratory equipment manufacturers provide us with many specialized tools that can be hard to find. Since scientific research demands high precision, you know you're only getting the absolute top-quality research and measurement tools.
IRON METEORITES
Through our network of collectors, we've been able to include many collectible natural specimens in Matter, such as fossils and meteorites, all of which are verified and identified by trusted experts.
These meteorites were likely formed in the early solar system and crashed into earth around 4,500 years ago.
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
Our scientific artifacts may be our favorite items. These items highlight the extremes of human achievement in various fields, such as this piece of the original cable of the Golden Gate Bridge, one of the most immense engineering projects of all time.
