Atoms to Astronauts

Science notebooks handmade in the UK — for those who write their best ideas next to Newton's.

Atoms to Astronauts began in lockdown, when a chemistry teacher designed a notebook that reflected his passion for science. His friends wanted one. Then friends of friends. Now over 10,000 notebooks later, they are enjoyed by science enthusiasts in more than 50 countries — and the name still says everything it needs to. From atoms to astronauts: that's how far we've come.

Every notebook is designed, printed and bound in the UK, using fountain-pen-friendly 100gsm off-white UK-milled paper, thread-sewn lay-flat binding, satin ribbon, rounded corners and covers featuring extracts from the original works of history's greatest scientists — Newton's Principia, Einstein's papers, Marie Curie's research and more. The range spans astronomy, anatomy, botany, chemistry, mathematics, physics and beyond, in both hardcover and softcover A5 formats. The manufacturing partners also supply Harrods and Westminster Abbey. All packaging is fully recyclable, FSC certified, and even the packing peanuts are compostable.
