There are at least 2 ways:
1.Accidents. Often scientists will stumble upon new phenomena as they are attempting to prove or disprove something else. The new and unexplained phenomena ends up being more scientifically relevant than what they are initially trying to prove. An example of this would be Marie Curie accidentally discovering radium, or Percy LeBaron accidentally discovering that microwaves can be used to heat materials.
2.The Scientific Method (hypothesis testing). In hypothesis testing, a scientist will establish a hypothesis, then test his theory to determine if the hypothesis is true or false. He often uses a control group to compare his experiment to, to determine if the results of the experiment were substantial enough to prove the hypothesis. Hypothesis testing relies on accurate and detailed observation, measuring, and recording of data.
New information comes about when a scientist has proven or disproven a hypothesis.
An example of a famous hypothesis test would be Galileo's experiments with gravity on the leaning tower of Pisa. Galileo hypothesized that a heavier object would fall faster than a lighter object. He conducted an experiment in which he dropped two objects of different weights simultaneously to see which hit the ground first. He recorded the data, and repeated the experiment several times until he was sure of the results. The new knowledge that he gained was that any two objects would hit the ground simultaneously, regardless of weight.
What else can I help you with?
How do scienrist most often gain new knowledge?
They make direct observations.
How do scientist most of them gain new knowledge?
Many scientists gain knowledge by making a hypothesis and creating an experiment. They analyze the data to make conclusions, thus gaining knowledge. Lazier scientists just read a ton of books.
How do we gain scientific knowledge?
Three ways to gain scientific knowledge is: 1) Read science magazine. 2) Read and make a summary of scientific articles. 3) Adopt a method of careful observation toward any event happening around you.
Which of the types of organisms would a scientist most likely observe to gain an understanding of how populations can evolve?
Bacteria

Why is weight gain in women in their stomachs?
It isn't usually- most often for women it's the hips.
How do you define 'scientist'?
A scientist is any working professional in any of the sciences, most commonly the natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Scientists are sometimes referred to as knowledge workers, because the work they perform is directed toward the goal of acquiring new knowledge or confirming existing knowledge. Scientists diligently investigate in order to develop working hypotheses followed by repeated experiments to arrive at a conclusion which determines verifiability or falsifiability.
Which sources of knowledge were most of the scientific revolution?
At the time of the scientific revolution, sources of knowledge dealing primarily with mathematics and astronomy were most often referred to. The scientific revolution began in the mid-1500s.
How are chemical elements most often transferred between different topic levels?
their gain or loss of electrons
