My First Patent: Sticky Gadgets

Making gadgets that don't smell wasn't a priority for Babu Gaddam when he became a scientist at 3M. Sometimes, new discoveries are found when you aren't looking. Babu set off to create a new adhesive. Although originally intended for masking tape, 3M electronics experts were able to find a different use. The adhesive didn't smell when heated, which is a must for electronic devices.

Today, he is listed as an inventor on 128 3M patents, but Babu will never forget how it felt to get the first one.
