Description

From Theodore Gray comes a beautifully produced app introducing and educating users on the elements of the periodic table and how they combine to form the world around us. The Elements is a rich and engaging love story, told in words and pictures - allowing you to experience the beauty and fascination of the building blocks of our universe in a way you've never seen before.

Start off on a living periodic table where every element is shown with a smoothly rotating sample. To read about gold, tap the gold nugget. Immediately you see the sample filling the screen, photographed to razor sharpness and rotating around a complete circle in front of your eyes. Enjoy the extensive array of facts and figures. Next find a fascinating story about the element, surrounded by carefully photographed objects representing it. Every one of these objects, well over 500 in total, is a freely rotatable, live object that you can examine from all sides and pinch zoom to see in unprecedented detail.

Touch the element name at the top of the page and you can see that element’s name in over a dozen different languages. Choose one and you’ll find that the entire book, stories, captions and all, switches to that language: The Elements includes both the full English original text and over a dozen full translations.

Pinch-zoom or tap any object to bring it up full screen, where you can split into a pair of stereo 3D images, allowing you to see all 500 objects pop off the screen in 3D, and you can spin the objects, in 3D, with the touch of a finger.

This book will show everyone there’s a lot more to the periodic table than a bunch of numbers and letters.

Features include:

• Beautifully composed pages for every Element in the periodic table
• Fun stories and fascinating facts
• All objects pinch-zoom with amazing detail and rotate in 3D
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Engaging introduction explaining the structure of the periodic table
• Fully translated into English, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish

Editors’ Notes

Ever pondered the atomic weight of Bismuth? Do you debate the density of Niobium over dinner? If so, this app is for you. Chemistry truly comes to life with this fully interactive version of the periodic table. Engage with the elements like never before and witness the wonders of science in beautiful detail.

Good review

This app is very fun. It shows stuff about every element, and it’s just like the book. Except you can make the stuff spin. But what I like about it is that it’s only $9.99 (that’s not expensive). I was thinking of getting it four star review but I think five should be better. There’s a reason why most people give it a five star review. I wanted to give it a four star review because some of the stuff from the book are not in here. But grabs my attention most of all is that it says that seaborgium (106) is the first element to be named after a person that was still alive. but this is not true. Einsteinium (99) was created in 1952. And Albert Einstein (born 1879)died in 1955. If it is true that element 106 is the first element to be named after someone that was still alive, then Einstein must have been named Einstein after Einstein died (same with fermium). This is my very first review.

Literally the best thing ever

Theodore Grey is an amazing writer and this shows. It is basically the book (which I love to death, it is the reason why I love chemistry so much I decided to major in it) except with moving 3D images and an awesome song! Highly recommend. If I could suggest one thing, I wish that this app included the extra info that is is the iPad version, but this is still awesome! 6/5
