Periodic table inspired chemistree competition winners crowned

It may not be the most Christmassy of the entries, but a miniature metal construction made by students at a science club in Didcot Girls School in the UK has been named the overall winner of a competition for chemistry-themed Christmas trees – or chemistrees. It impressed judges thanks to its original design and construction from chemical elements, just in time for the start of the International Year of the Periodic Table.
