The periodic table organizes all the known elements by atomic number, which is the number of protons in each atom of the element. This version of the table, which draws on data compiled by astronomer Jennifer Johnson from Ohio State University, shows our current understanding of how each element found on Earth was originally produced. Most of them ultimately have cosmic origins. Some elements were created with the birth of the universe, while others were made during the lives or deaths of stars. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help us understand the cosmic era when stars first began forming. The mission will help scientists learn more about how elements were created and distributed throughout galaxies.
The MicroLab is an open-source, DIY, automated controlled lab reactor (CLR) that people can assemble with parts available online. We hope this will do for chemistry what the 3D printer did for manufacturing: provide a DIY, hackable, low-cost method to design and produce certain needful things that otherwise would be out of reach.
For the MicroLab to be accessible to the most people, it was developed as part of a hardware/software stack called the MicroLab Suite. The different software programs help take the information about a compound you want to make and translate it into a recipe (code) that the MicroLab runs to create the compound.
This section is for you if you want to build a MicroLab and start using it. We tried to make building the MicroLab friendly for folks newer to electronics, but you will need some knowledge and skills with electronics (or the patience to learn a few things).

Give it a chemical formula in SMILES format, and it'll generate a downloadable desktop background with the molecule.
