I went to IIT so I know the truth about this.

In addition to inventing magnetic recording tape, IIT invented Silly Putty.

Actually, IITRI (Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute) was contracted to develop nose cone material for NASA when one of the trials failed but resulted in what was eventually marketed as Silly Putty!

I had an organic chemistry lab like that!  I got an orange glob, everyone else had crystals.  Heisenberg I ain't. :D :(
