8 inspiring (and free!) scientific wallpapers to smarten up any device
We have become glued to our screens, tapping and clicking our way through a virtual world of work, communication, commerce, and play.
A universe of information is at our fingertips -- sometimes at the expense of experiencing the real deal. If you're reading these words on a screen, our first piece of advice is to step outside and smell the figurative or literal roses.
But since very few of us can spend all day rose-sniffing, our second piece of advice is to create a more inspiring onscreen experience for yourself with our new science-themed wallpapers.
These wallpapers convey concepts of cosmology, quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and geometric art inspired by the architecture of Perimeter Institute.
Check out the wallpapers below, and fill out the form at the bottom of this page to receive them all.
We'd love to see these wallpapers in action! Take a screenshot and share it with us on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram! Not sure how to change your wallpaper? This guide has you covered.

About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
