Science is a systematic process of building and organizing knowledge through testable explanations and predictions, while technology is the application of tools and techniques to solve problems or achieve goals. Together, science and technology underpin all aspects of modern life and have transformed how we live, work, travel, communicate, and access healthcare and information. We rely on the contributions of science and technology even when performing everyday tasks like turning on lights or getting a glass of water.

Science and Technology
1.
2. • Science is a systematic
enterprise that builds and
organizes knowledge in the form
of testable explanations and
predictions about the universe.
• Science also refers to a body of
knowledge itself, of the type that
can be rationally explained
and reliably applied. A
practitioner of science is known
as a scientist.
• The goal of science is often to
describe, explain, and predict
relationships that occur
naturally.
• In modern usage, "science" most often refers to a
way of pursuing knowledge, not only the
knowledge itself.
• It is also often restricted to those branches of
study that seek to explain the phenomena of
the material universe.
• Over the course of the 19th century, the word
"science" became increasingly associated with
the scientific method itself, as a disciplined
way to study the natural world.

4. • Technology is the making,
modification, usage, and knowledge
of tools, machines,
techniques, systems etc., in order to
solve a problem, improve a pre-existing
solution to a problem,
achieve a goal, handle an applied
input/output relation or perform a
specific function.
• It can also refer to the collection of
such tools, including machinery,
modifications, arrangements and
procedures.
• In other words, technology tries to
change objects and events.
• The human species' use of technology
began with the conversion of natural
resources into simple tools.
• The prehistorical discovery of the
ability to control fire increased the
available sources of food and the
invention of the wheel helped humans
in travelling in and controlling their
environment.
• The term can either be applied
generally or to specific areas: examples,
include construction
technology, medical technology,
and information technology.

6. 1. Immunity To Cancer: The University of Rochester published a study on June 19th
suggesting the mechanism that allows naked mole rats to be immune to
cancer. These creepy subterranean rodents may get a lot of heat for their
looks, but they seem to be having the last laugh when it comes to their
immunity to cancer.
2. Sight For blind: The first bionic eye prototype was introduced by a team of
Australian designers in early June. The bionic eye works by having a
chip implanted into the user’s skull and then connected to a digital camera
in the glasses. While the glasses currently only allow the user to see outlines,
the prototype has a lot of promise to be improved upon in the future. Once
the camera captures an image, the signal is changed and sent wirelessly to
the microchip. The signal activates spots on the microchip implanted into
the visual cortex of the brain.
7. 3. Medical benefits of silver: A study was published on June 19th by a team of
researchers at Boston University regarding the benefits of using silver in
antibiotics. While it has long been known that silver contains strong
antimicrobial properties, scientists have only recently discovered that it’s
able to turn normal antibiotics into antibiotics on steroids.
4. The four-quark particle: The search for the explanation of the birth of our
universe is heating up after the June 18th announcement of the
confirmation of a particle that has four quarks. While this may not seem
that important, to physicists, the find has given rise to new explanations
and theories of how matter was first created. Prior to this observation, the
explanation for the creation of matter was limited since particles with
only two or three quarks had ever been found.
8. 5. Telekinesis: Being able to control the motion of objects may seem like the plot
of a science fiction novel, but thanks to researchers from the Minnesota
College of Science and Engineering, it’s now a reality. Using a
noninvasive technique known as electroencephalography that harnesses
brainwaves, five students were able to control the motion of a helicopter.
6. Efficient Electrolysis (Saltwater Splitting): In the race to find efficient and plentiful
alternative fuels, researchers have always hit a roadblock when trying to
come up with an efficient method of splitting seawater to produce
hydrogen fuel. On June 10th, a team at the Australian Research Council
Centre of Excellence for Electro materials Science unveiled a catalyst that
is able to split ocean water with very little energy needed.

14. The importance of science and technology in contemporary society is demonstrated by the
use of it in our daily lives. And we often have no idea how science and technology really
affect us. We live and work in structures given to us by science and technology. We are
transported around on the ground, across the water and in the air by vehicles that are
the direct result of science and technology. Modern societies are literally built on science
and technology. When we turn on the tap, flush the toilet, or flip a light switch, we are
accessing science and technology. Medicine is wall-to-wall science and technology, and
anyone who is more than mildly ill or has been injured in more than a minor way will
benefit from science and technology. No food in modern society is not touched by science
and technology, either in its origin, packaging and Processing, transportation or vending.
Without technology, we would not have a TV, computer, phones and other things Without
science, we would hardly know anything about our planet, country or even our local
area.
