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.

INVENTION OF X-RAYS

The story of their discovery is a fascinating

one of incredible chance.

In 1895, German physicist

Wilhelm Roentgen

was performing a routine experiment involving cathode rays,

when he noticed that a piece of fluorescent cardboard was lighting up from across the room.

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.

DISCOVERY OF MICROWAVE

Microwave was discovered accidentally, when a chocolate bar melted in Percy Spencer’s pocket

The fact is, Percy LeBaron Spencer of the Raytheon

Company was walking past a radar tube

is sterile and has an ideal pH level.

Coconut water is liquid endosperm – it surrounds the embryo and provides nutrition.

SUPER GLUE

Super Glue is invented by Harry Coover

In what have been a very messy moment of discovery in 1942, Dr. Harry Coover of Eastman-Kodak Laboratories found that a substance he created
cyanoacrylate
was a miserable failure.
Six years later, while overseeing
an experimental new design for airplane canopies,
Coover found himself stuck in the same gooey mess
with a familiar foe
cyanacrylate
was proving useless as ever.

But this time, Coover observed that
the stuff formed an incredibly strong bond
without needing heat.
Coover slapped a patent on his discovery, and in 1958, a full 16 years after he first got stuck, cyanoacrylate was being sold on shelves.
