Applet for visualizing the known melting and boiling temperatures for all elements. Shown is the periodic table, where all elements are color-coded: blue for solids, yellow for liquids, and red for gases. The elements in white do not have stable isotopes, and their phase transition temperatures are not known.
Mr. Bauer has a collection of other physics applets on his site.
