Ours faced roughly South West (in the north of UK, so not ideal) was quite small when we got it (and from memory grafted to another - which probably didn't help).

That takes me back - we had one of those when I was a kid, it did nothing for several years then bloomed 3 times over 2 - 3 years before giving up.

Sir Harry Kroto and the C60 Nobel Prize at the University of Sussex YouTube video by University of Sussex

40 years ago, Sussex Professor the late Sir Harry Kroto FRS made one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century: C60, or Buckminsterfullerene. The breakthrough won the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, with his legacy living on across the world and at Sussex.

Chemistry@Sussex has a proud heritage of innovation and discovery. This year we mark the 40th anniversary of Sir Harry Kroto's discovery of the 4th form of carbon - C60, which even today has real life implications in nanotechnology, medicine and sustainable energy #chemistry #C60 #sussex #kroto

We are delighted to be ranked 5th in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2026! #chemistry #chemistry@sussex

As promised, postdoc positions at BristolUni.bsky.social available in homogeneous catalysis and computational chemistry exploring the replacement of palladium catalysts by Earth-Abundant Metals: www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

Spearheaded by the Reinholdt group (Lund), we find that the elusive P≡N molecule finds new life in an Os complex and unlocks unique [NPS₂]²⁻, [NPCl]⁻, and aromatic [PN₄]⁻ species.

Carbon–boron triple bond formed for the first time in a neutral novel molecule Synthesis could help chemists better understand bonding

Researchers have synthesised a triple bond between carbon and boron for the first time, in a discovery that could inspire other researchers to synthesise compounds that might seem improbable.

Still time to apply for this post - closing date is Monday

University of Hull to close its chemistry department The university is also merging some of its schools following a drop in student numbers.

It's been known in the sector for some time, but finally the BBC has caught up with the impending closure of Chemistry at Hull - a well-regarded department with very high local value to the East Yorkshire economy and chemicals industry.
