Plastic and corn flakes to match penicillin, here is a list of the top 10 accidental scientific discoveries that have had a major impact on our lives. Have a look!
10. Vulcanised Rubber
vulcanized rubber is used to make a huge array of things like tires, shoe soles and conveyor belts, is a very important type of rubber.
Interestingly, it was accidentally discovered in 1839 by a scientist named Charles Goodyear. He was also found rubber hardened, but usable, down rubber, sulfur and lead alloys on a hot stove. It is resistant to both heat and cold in the end how the rubber.
The discovery of vulcanized rubber rubber and revolutionize the application, and forever changed the face of the industrialized world.
9. Safety Glass
You may know that the windshield in your car is made out of laminated glass sheet, which is less likely to shatter harming your eyes. Apparently used to protect themselves from accidents in which safety glass was invented by accident.
Safety glass was originally discovered in 1903, when "Edward was a French scientist named Benedictus of surprise", did not crack as it should be, and dropped a glass flask containing plastic cellulose nitrate. We made many little tweaks in perfect safety glass as we know it.
8. Sildenafil
The Sildenafil, more popular name "Viagra" is a small blue pill, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction treatment. Sildenafil was discovered by a remarkable, but it was accidental.
In the early 1990s a group of pharmaceutical drug research facility in England, high blood pressure and angina pectoris (a plan to treat heart disease) UK-92480, a compound synthesized. Eventually it proved to be an absolute failure in the department, however, test subjects reported some startling effects below the belt. What is more interesting, it has some side effects and is one of the "heart attack".
7. Matches
Before creating a lighter, fire strikeable match was quick and the only way to get easy access. A man named John Walker was trying to find a way to easily get fire. While several chemical then suddenly it was known that the explosion could ignite, but it can be moved at a slow burning wood fire of unknown substances.
Walker, a lighting Composition, which took place this amazing scientific discovery accidentally when it suddenly upon the stove was dipped in an accidental fire by friction was preparing for a match. He was stunned by this discovery.
6. Teflon
There is a saying in Teflon at least once a day that touches every human being. Teflon is the most important polymer, in what is known as "polytetrafluoroethylene". It was accidentally Roy Plunkett's, when he was discovered in 1938 by trying to create a new chlorofluorocarbon refrigerant. He filled tetrafloroethylene in a pressure bottle. The bottle was coated with a wonderful waxy white material which was oddly slippery found that internal. This analysis revealed that after the original perfloroethelene polymerised.
5. Corn flakes
Corn flakes idea for a crash, when Kellogg and his younger brother, Will Keith Kellogg's, and August 8, some cooked wheat was left to sit while attending some important issues in the Sanitarium, starting in 1894. They returned only to find that stale wheat. But they decided to continue to implement it by applying force through, hoping to obtain long sheets of dough rollers being on a tight budget. Their surprise, they found that the interests of the sheet of dough, the fact flakes, which they toasted and served it to their patients. Later in the billion dollar industry began to feed hundreds of millions of people every morning.
4. X-ray
A German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays are considered. In fact, I was experimenting with cathode ray tube when he noticed an unusual glow in the dark room, he said. He said he is responsible for a new kind of rays immediately realized, but I did not know what kind of rays, and the X-ray (X for unknown).
What is discovered X-rays passing through the top of things and the ability to reach places where it does not allow us to reach our vision spectrum. This wood, paper and can penetrate most important meat.
3. Microwave Radiation
Radio waves exist in the equation in 1884 was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell, but it was not until the end of 1943 a Hungarian engineer Zoltan Bay when he discovered the radiation wavelength. He was a chocolate bar melted in his stop when he realized, was looking to find energy sources for radar equipment. Many years later ovens, including your mother used to bake delicious cakes, is used for many useful purposes.
2. Plastic
An alternative to a Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekland shellac in 1907, is made naturally by a million bugs emissions that were used to find the most expensive wine.
However, he has partly failed to create but also known as plastic instead of producing an exquisite materials. He combined with phenol, formaldehyde along with some other things, and the result was a nonconductive and heat resistant polymer. The relatively low cost, simple manufacturing process, due to the volatility and water imperviousness, is used in many ceiling paper clips products from plastic space ships, and read you this article in device from are used for
1. Penicillin
You already know that penicillin could be the earliest and most effective antibiotics work against bacterial infections. Each person's life was going to change after Friday morning September 1928 a groundbreaking discovery.
A Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming St Mary mistakingly left a petri dish containing Staphylococcus results in his laboratory in the basement of the hospital England. He returned from a week long vacation, he said that the results had been contaminated with blue-green mold Staphylococcus an open window, and more importantly that the bacteria were able to grow around .
