INVENTION OF VELCRO

A dog invented velcro.

Swiss engineer George de Mestral 

was out for a hunting trip with his pooch, 

and noticed the annoying tendency of burrs to stick to its fur 

(and his socks). 

Later, looking under a microscope, Mestral observed

the tiny "hooks" 

that stuck burrs to fabrics and furs. 

Mestral experimented for years with a variety of textiles before arriving at the newly invented nylon—though it wasn't until two decades later that NASA's fondness for velcro popularized the tech.

A thick screen had been placed between his cathode emitter and the radiated cardboard, proving that particles of light were passing through solid objects. Amazed, Roentgen quickly found that brilliant images could be produced with this incredible radiation—the first of their kind being a skeletal image of his wife's hand.
