Scientific research
　　Scientific research can be divided into basic science, also known as pure science, and applied science. In basic science, science working primarily at academic institutions pursues research simply to satisfy the thirst for knowledge. in applied science, scientists at industrial corporations conduct to achieve some kind of practical or profitable gain.
　　In practice ,the division between basic and applied science is not always clear-cut. This if because discoveries that initially seen to have no practical use often develop one as time goes-by. For example , superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity with no resistance ,was little more than a laboratory curiosity when Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered it in 1911. today superconducting electromagnets are used in an ever-increasing number of important applications, from diagnostic medical equipment to powerful particle accelerators.
　　Scientists study the origin of the solar system by analyzing meteorites and collecting data from satellites and space probes. They search for the secrets of life processes by observing the activity of individual molecules in living cells. They observe the patterns of human relationships in the customs of aboriginal tribes. In each of these varied investigations the questions asked and the means employed to find answers are different. All the inquiries, however ,share a common approach to problem solving known as the scientific method, scientists may work alone or they collaborate with other scientists, in all cases, a scientists submit their findings to science forums(论坛),such as science journals and conferences , in order to subject the findings to the scrutiny(详细审查)of their peers.
