Pure Sciences
About the Sector
Pure science is the study of natural phenomena and the laws of nature without any immediate practical application in mind. It focuses on gaining knowledge for the sake of understanding the world around us rather than solving specific practical problems. This is distinct from applied science, which uses scientific knowledge to develop practical applications, like technology or medicine.
Pure science is vital for advancing fundamental knowledge that drives innovation in technology, medicine, and other applied fields. While pure science may not always have immediate practical uses, its discoveries often lead to breakthroughs that transform industries and improve lives.
Pure science is the foundation upon which many practical applications are built. It seeks to explore and understand the universe's fundamental workings, leading to profound insights and new areas of exploration.
