What is Applied science?
'''Applied science''' is about using the findings of [[science]] to do something. In the [[natural sciences]], this is done by [[engineering]]. In sciences such as [[psychology]], this can mean using theoretical findings to improve a test method, for example. '''Applied research''' is generally done to solve a problem. Applied chemists invented [[refrigerant]]s long ago to cool things. Some refigerants escape into the atmosphere and damage the [[ozone layer]], so chemists have developed new refrigerants in another example of [[applied research]]. This work not driven by a desire to know, but by a desire to solve a specific problem. == Related pages == *[[Technology]] {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Science]] [[Category:Technology]] [[Category:Engineering disciplines]]
