_Hideki Shirakawa, Who Helped Turn a Lab Error Into a Nobel, Dies at 90_
“…someone accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst to the reaction to create the polyacetylene. Instead of getting a black powdery substance, as expected, the result was a silvery film that looked more like metal than plastic. Dr. Shirakawa was intrigued by the result and began studying the unusual material to better understand its properties.”
Most of my lab mistakes turned out to be mere blunders. I don't recall ever stumbling upon something *interesting* as a result… how about y'all?
