NOVA Elements

Did you ever wonder why the periodic table is shaped the way it is, what gives each element its own unique set of properties, or even how elements combine to make everyday objects such as a cup of coffee? With “NOVA Elements,” explore an interactive periodic table, play a game hosted by David Pogue, or watch the two-hour NOVA program, “Hunting the Elements.”

Features:

  • Combine elements to build a t-shirt, coffee, a watch, or banana
  • View video narratives of the elements and the two-hour NOVA program "Hunting the Elements"
  • Explore the Periodic Table

Although the periodic table loads, clicking on an element does not provide any additional information. This is a significant feature that the app is supposed to have but is lacking.

Clicking on the periodic table doesn't do anything but move the table a bit.

This app has a great periodic table, with pictures of masses of elements and everything. (Spoiler alert: most are shiny and gray.) What sets it apart from other, similar apps is the Nova documentary and molecule builder also thrown in. I am shocked that it is free.

I'm using a mouse and keyboard (no touchscreen), and I'm noticing what must be a glitch in the program. In the "Explore" screen (the interactive periodic-table), when I click on an element, nothing happens. The table simply shifts to the left or right in anticipation of more detailed information or a dialog-box, but nothing appears. I think the "Explore" feature would be one of the highlights of the App, and it doesn't work (with a mouse). Otherwise it's an exceptional App. I can only give it 3 stars.

Table moves and it looks like an information box should come up, but nothing there.

Not very interactive. Every time I click on an element nothing is happening. I am using a Surface Pro 3 and I am guessing a window is suppose to pop out. I will change my review once this is fixed
