We look at a published chemical structure for the mythical Spice Melange from the Dune science fiction series. More links and info in full description ↓↓↓

Featuring Jessie Groves (senior technician), Martyn Poliakoff and Robert Stockman.

Thanks also to Finlay Dowton, Konstantina Nikolaou, Albert Reynolds, and Zachary Douglas (who is a postgrad, not an undergrad!)

The structure was published in the Dune Encyclopedia - https://archive.org/details/dune-encyclopedia/page/376/mode/2up
