Accidentally discovered items/things include: vulcanised rubber and nylon. Vulcanised rubber came as a result of research being done into developing non-perishable rubber, for which vulcanisation was a solution. In contrast... nylon was discovered during research done into developing a new kind of refrigerant!
Moral of the story... dunno. Maybe solutions can come before problems?
