The most active University networks in the year to June 2019 (a measure of usage on campus within those institutions) were the following in decreasing order: Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, Liverpool, Irvine, Washington, Texas Austin, Emory, Minnesota, UCLA.

In recent years there has been a  significant growth in the proportion of users visiting the site on mobile devices (ca 40%). Notwithstanding the availability of apps for iOS and Android for sections of the site, a complete redesign to better serve both desktop and mobile users was undertaken in 2019. This is the result.

There are currently ca. 2400 pages in ChemTube3D and they have all been reworked to make them responsive. If you spot anything that is not working properly or something that you don’t like please let me know.
