INNOVATION, THE ROLLA WAY
POSTED BY ANDREW CAREAGA
ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020
The first female scientist in the U.S. Public Health Service, Ida Bengtson was
also one of the first female faculty member on our campus and one of many
innovators to teach here.
FROM OUR FOUNDING, S&T AND INNOVATION HAVE BEEN TIGHTLY LINKED
Note: Friday, Nov. 6, 2020, is Founders Day at Missouri S&T. It marks the 149th
anniversary of the first day of classes at our university, then known as the
Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. For more about our history and our
150th anniversary celebration, visit 150.mst.edu.
From advances in materials, movies and microloans to wound-healing glass and the
Hula-Hoop, Miners have created some of the world’s most significant innovations.
Here are some notable achievements of our alumni and faculty.
* Steven Jung, CerE’05, MS CerE’07, PhD MSE’10, developed a cotton candy-like
glass fiber matrix called Mirragen that speeds the healing of open wounds.
* Copper wire made electrification of the U.S. possible in the early 20th
century, but it was Daniel C. Jackling, MetE 1892, who made the copper wire
possible. Jackling developed a way to recover copper “so cheaply,” notes the
Mining Hall of Fame, “it was hailed throughout the industry as a
revolutionary achievement.”
* Research by Mervin J. Kelly, Chem 1914, at AT&T Bell Laboratories led to the
world’s first trans-oceanic phone call in 1927. Kelly later served as
president of Bell Labs, where his research group invented the transistor.
* The first female scientist in the U.S. Public Health Service, Ida Bengtson
came to Rolla in the 1920s to study the bacterial infection trachoma. MSM
Director Charles Fulton, delighted to have an “expert bacteriologist” in
town, added her to the faculty. In Rolla through 1931, she also worked on a
treatment for Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
* As an engineer for Westinghouse in 1953, Harry Smith, EE’42, discovered
pulse-Doppler radar, now commonly used for weather forecasters everywhere.
* While studying catalysts to convert petroleum into liquid gasoline, Robert L.
Banks, ChE’44, stumbled upon an idea in 1951 to create high-density
polyethylene (HDPE), a material used for plastic milk jugs, baby bottles,
laundry baskets and the Hula-Hoop.
* Until the 1980s, global positioning systems had no commercial applications.
Along came Ed Tuck, EE’53, who developed the first hand-held GPS receiver for
general use, the Magellan NAV 1000.
* Delbert Day, CerE’58, co-invented a process to treat inoperable liver cancer
with radioactive glass microspheres, each one about one-third the diameter of
a human hair. The treatment is used at hundreds of medical sites worldwide.
* He started out as a florist, but Robert Herchenroeder, MetE’59, is better
known for creating Haynes Alloy 188, which was used in engines for the F-15
Eagle and other military aircraft. He earned 36 U.S. patents in his lifetime.
* After leaving Texas Instruments, John Fairbanks, EE’71, co-founded Poqet
Computer and created the first sub-notebook style computer. It was powered by
two AA batteries.
* Joining forces with actor Matt Damon, Gary White, CE’85, MS CE’87, is
bringing clean water and sanitation to millions worldwide through the
non-profit, water.org, and the WaterCredit microloan program.
* The winner of three Academy Awards for technical achievement, Steve Sullivan,
EE’89, developed special effects systems used in dozens of movies, including
Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar and Iron Man.
* A security researcher at AT&T, Cristina Serban, MS CSci’93, PhD CSci’96,
holds patents for content security systems and now studies ways to make
mobile and cloud computing more secure.
* Jack Dorsey, NDD’98, co-founded two of the 21st century’s most influential
digital developments: the social network Twitter and the mobile payment
platform Square. This year, he set aside $1 billion to battle coronavirus,
support girls’ health and education, and promote universal basic income.
* Steven Jung, CerE’05, MS CerE’07, PhD MSE’10, developed a cotton candy-like
glass fiber matrix called Mirragen that speeds the healing of open wounds.

2 THOUGHTS ON “INNOVATION, THE ROLLA WAY”
* Richard Bullock says:
November 3, 2020 at 1:20 pm
You missed the “SplitSet Friction Stabilizer” which quickly spread throughout
the world of underground hard rock metal mining. This was developed by Dr.
James Scott, while he was a professor in the Mining Department in about 1973.
Jim was an MSM Mining graduate in 1950. The new type of roof bolt was easier,
faster and cheaper than the conventional roof bolts and was applied in
thousands of underground hard rock mines. Thus making underground mining
safer for the miner.

Thank you, Dr. Bullock. I remember Dr. Scott well, and as you point out,
his mine roof stabilizer was not only innovative, but made the mining
industry much safer. For the record, we featured Dr. Scott in earlier
publications, including the Miner Alumni Association’s 1994
“entrepreneurship” issue and our 2011 “Alumni of Influence” publication
(also online at
https://influence.mst.edu/2011/otherremarkablealumni/ininnovation/). Thank
you for remembering and honoring Dr. Scott’s memory.
Best,
Andrew Careaga
