One famous example of a discovery made by chance is penicillin, discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Fleming noticed that a mold called Penicillium notatum had contaminated one of his petri dishes and was killing the surrounding bacteria. This accidental observation led to the development of antibiotics, revolutionizing medicine and saving countless lives.
