A word other than "serendipity" that means accidental discovery (see more information).
When physicist Roentgen discovered X-Rays, he was attempting to bend the path of an electron beam. While successful at doing so, he discovered that an unknown beam -- the X-Ray -- continued in a straight line. There is a word for that type of discovery -- looking for one thing and finding another of equal or greater value. The word is not serendipity, it is.....?
