Illustrators take on the Periodic Table of the Elements

The periodic table is an unmissable poster in chemistry classrooms all over the world. In 2019, we celebrate the 150th birthday of this incredible invention. Julien Bobroff, from the Physics Reimagined team, used this opportunity to work on it with students from the scientific illustration section of the Estienne school in Paris. They had less than two months to create a project inspired by the table. The only obligation was to keep it digital and electronic-free.

 

Here are their seven projects, seven unusual formats showing seven different visions of the periodic table.
