WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS: In 1965, chemist Stephanie Kwolek was working in a DuPont lab, hunting for a new material to reinforce tires. One day, she mixed a solution that came out cloudy and strange—unlike anything her team had seen. It was thin, didn’t behave like other polymers, and almost got thrown away.

But when tested, this odd liquid spun into incredibly strong fibers. Stephanie’s “mistake” became Kevlar, a revolutionary synthetic fiber five times stronger than steel by weight. It’s heat-resistant, rustproof, and is light enough to wear making it ideal for bulletproof vests, military helmets, space suits, and cables.

In 1995, Stephanie Kwolek was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

GRAMMY NOTES: When I registered for classes at Cornell graduate school, there was a table for a computer dating service. I signed up; one date, zero chemistry. A year later, they called and asked if I wanted to renew. I said, “Well, since I’m getting married in about 8 hours, I guess I’ll have to pass.”
