The Elements
The Elements is a reference app that presents the periodic table of elements in an interactive, visual format. It allows users to explore element properties, atomic structures, and chemical information through an intuitive interface. The app is designed for students, educators, chemists and science enthusiasts who want to learn about elements, their characteristics and behaviour. It combines educational content with interactive visualisation to make chemistry concepts more accessible and engaging.

1 suggestionWe could not find current information about whether The Elements has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The bundle ID suggests this is a macOS version of what may originally have been an iOS or iPad app from Touch Press, but the developer's current support status and native build availability are unclear. Contact the developer directly through the app's support channels to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned, particularly given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — at that point, an Intel-only build will no longer launch. In the meantime, the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs, though with reduced performance and battery efficiency. For a more actively maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider the Periodic Table apps available on the Mac App Store, such as "Periodic Table Pro" or similar educational chemistry references.
