The Periodic Table Project is a free app for the iPad and iPhone developed by the University of Waterloo and 3M. Bringing an artistic aspect to the periodic table, researchers gathered drawings representing the elements from students around the world. Each element is represented by a student’s drawing. Users simply click on a drawing to learn about that element. All of the standard information about an element found on a standard periodic table is included. The Periodic Table Project app also includes the two newly named elements. Flerovium (114) and Livermorium (116).
