Modern science is a discovery as well as an invention —J.L. Heilbron
Progress in science can emerge in many different ways. Even when a research project, a technical development, or a scientific theory is rejected or replaced, progress is present in the sense of the refinement of the path in the quest for wider and more accurate knowledge and understanding of nature. A traditional debate juxtaposing basic research—the fundamental scientific activity not intended to achieve a specific practical purpose—and applied research— the scientific activity aimed at producing tangible results—was once ongoing within the scientific community because the two types of research were pursued in spheres and often not interlinked to each other, even in cases when they should have been. However, interdisciplinarity has always existed in science, though the speed
