Superglue is an incredibly useful invention, allowing us to repair all manner of objects. However, it nearly wasn't invented at all! Here's a quick look at the story of superglue, and, more importantly, the chemistry that allows it to do its job. Superglue was initially discovered by accident. Dr Harry Coover, a researcher at Kodak laboratories, was…
