  Hey, bart1!
  
  I certainly have been lucky enough to experience. Sometimes it happens by accident, and you think everything has gone wrong, but you’ve actually just made something new 🙂
  
  The things I’ve made are mostly compounds that store hydrogen, often a kind of metal with hydrogen attached to it somehow.
  
  Thanks for the question 🙂
