Visual Elements: A Visual Interpretation of the Table of Elements is an innovative and elegant visual tour through the periodic table. Each of the 109 elements is accompanied by a visual image, as well as a description and history (including the origin of its name). These pages are image heavy and take a while to load.

Visual Elements is an arts and science collaborative project supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry which aims to explore and reflect upon the diversity of elements that comprise matter in as unique and innovative manner as possible.

Visual Elements aims to produce a new and vibrant visual assessment of the startling diversity of material that constitutes the world in which we live, not simply by rendering images of the respective elements but also by investigating the manner in which they affect our daily lives in largely unseen and often unexpected ways.
