  • Our last word in business is about a little product that requires concise writing. Thirty years ago this month, it hit stores across the country. Scientists at the office products conglomerate 3M had stumbled upon a new kind of adhesive, one that could stick to many surfaces and be pulled off easily and repositioned.
  • Since 1980, they have been a top-selling office supply. They're no longer just three-by-three inches and light yellow in color. The little sticky pads come in eight sizes, and dozens of shapes and colors.
  • heir contribution to human progress has been so great that Post-It note inventers Arthur Fry and Spencer Silver were inducted last month into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

  • 11:00 AM-12:00 Noon , Thirty years ago today a man stood on a New York City sidewalk and changed history. Martin Cooper, who worked for Motorola, invented the handheld cell phone. On April 3rd, 1973, he placed the first call to the competition.
  • I called my counterpart at Bell Laboratories, a guy named Dr. Joel Engell, who was running the cellular telephone program at Bell Laboratories, and I told him, `Joel, I'm calling you from a real cellular telephone, a handheld unit.' Now I thought I could hear gnashing of teeth at the other end, but Joel was polite. And then I went on to other phone calls.

  • Cellophane is produced by dissolving wood pulp or other cellulose material in an alkali with carbon disulfide, neutralizing the alkaline solvent with an acid, extruding the precipitate into a sheet, impregnating it with glycerine, and then drying and cutting the sheets to the desired size.
  • Cellophane was invented about 1910 by the Swiss chemist Jacques Brandenberger (1873?–1954), who in 1912 invented the first machines for large-scale production and established a factory near Paris.

  • Harry Wesley Coover Jr., 94, inventor of Super Glue. Coover was working for Tennessee Eastman, a division of Eastman Kodak, when an accident helped lead to the popular adhesive being discovered. An assistant was distressed that some prisms were ruined when they were glued together by the substance.

  • Mar. 13--James T. Russell invented the digital compact disc to listen to music, but his CDs revolutionized technology.
  • Born in Bremerton, Wash., in 1931, Mr. Russell went to Reed College in Portland, Ore., and graduated with a degree in physics in 1953. He then joined General Electric labs in Richland, Wash.
  • Mr. Russell said that if the recording industry is able to organize a proper future for selling music online, the audio disc will go extinct. He invented the digital compact disc in the late 1960s after joining the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of Battelle Memorial Institute in Richland.

  • "It suddenly struck me that what we had was not a casting material but a super glue,"
  • Eastman 910 was soon being used in a variety of ways, but it quickly became known for its medical applications.
  • glue only really became a commercial success after the patents had expired and several other companies began developing their own versions.
