Using the graphical device of the periodic table of elements­—an iconic expression of scientific thought—researchers Timothy Neale, Courtney Addison, and Thao Phan invite us to reconsider the elemental in order to better illuminate the troubles we face in the Anthropocene.

And how can nominating these forms enhance our understanding of the interrelations and effects that comprise the chemical chaos around us?
