The Most Dangerous Toy in the World

What is the world’s most dangerous toy? Ranking pretty highly on the list is probably the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab, created by the company A.C. Gilbert. The atomic energy lab kit contained an instruction booklet, a book on how to prospect uranium, and various tools that enabled children to dive deep into the world of atomic chemistry. Voula Saridakis, curator at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, offered us a close-up look at the atomic lab kit. Visit the Museum of Science and Industry: ht
