Nbc Learn: Chance Discoveries: Lab Experiments, Unexpected Results

For this Chemistry Now original video series, we highlight the curiosity, daring, and creativity of the best bench chemists by telling the stories of the people and experiments behind eight notable discoveries made by chance in the chemistry lab.
