The 5 Most Important Science Applications

The science applications They are the set of systematic knowledge that is used to solve problems in practice with the scientific method as a basis. Applications in medicine, technology or engineering stand out.

The word science comes from the Latin "scentia" and means "to know". Observation and reason are used to reach this knowledge, both with a systematic structure from which laws and principles and consequences can be deduced..

The application of the scientific method divides science into two categories: basic science and applied science. Without basic science, it would not be possible to advance in applied science.

It is also thanks to science that moving from theory to practice becomes more effective, since with scientific study even the methodologies to face unknown problems are determined

Main applications of science

Scientific advances have revolutionized all areas of daily life. Technologies have emerged based on these advances and are incorporated into our customs and habits.  

Here we will only mention 5 of the thousands of applications that science has in our daily lives. 

Medical science

The first of the applications of science in the life of man was through medicine.

Take all the tools of the basic sciences like biology, physics, chemistry and even mathematics; proposes to study the human body in order to improve health, cure diseases and extend human life.

At present there are branches of this science that study the human genome and seek to eradicate diseases directly from the genes..

Telecommunications

Apply the knowledge of chemistry and physics to overcome the limits of distance, allowing the transmission and reception of information containing images, sounds and / or signs, in real time and at high speed..

Hand in hand with the hardware technology industry, it makes real-time data transmission increasingly reliable.

Architecture

Applies physics and mathematics in conjunction with engineering, to achieve the projection and design of structures such as buildings, monuments and bridges.

 It seeks to make them functional to achieve a city with a more human habitat..

This science incorporates artistic elements in its applications, without neglecting the in-depth study of the elements that make up a work..

Thanks to his vision and his work hand in hand with engineering, buildings and structures defy physical laws with unthinkable shapes.

Pharmacology

It applies biology, chemistry and physics, in alliance with medicine, for the elaboration of medicinal substances used to prevent and cure ailments in the human body. Requires extensive knowledge of all biological processes.

It is one of the richest industries on the planet; constantly innovates to achieve significant changes in people's health.

engineering

Applies mathematics, physics and chemistry to a set of techniques to allow human beings to innovate, invent, and create tools that improve and facilitate life.

As its name suggests, it is based on the ingenuity to group several branches of interests such as computing, electronics, industry, metallurgy, among others, and solve various problems of everyday life..

Usually works directly hand in hand with architecture, executing what it projects.

Thanks to various branches of the same, it is that vehicle engines are improved or that the components of a smartphone process faster and faster.
