The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new
discoveries, is not “Eureka!” (I found it!) but “That’s funny ...”

Outstanding. I had a chemistry set when I was a kid. I liked nitric acid, sulfuric acid and glycerin. Stir gently!

I also wonder how many terrible accidents have taken place because someone just ‘wanted to see what would happen’...

It is. The glue on sticky notes was a failure. It was for another purpose and didn’t hold well at all. If i recall correctly, the inventor just decided to use it for his own personal use on pieces of paper in a hymnal. Someone noticed what a great idea it was, and the rest is history.

The team has yet to identify a practical application for the unexpected discovery, but they anticipate its influence on soft-matter physics.

It’s the old “grad student does the work, professor puts their name on it” gig.
