Theoretical research has its findings based on existing theories and hypothesis...there is no practical application in the research.
Emperical research has its findings based on the verification through experiments, experiences and observations......

Is qualitative research empirical?
empirical research or empirical study means: data has already been collected and analyzed.
The basic types of research are as follows:• Descriptive vs. Analytical• Applied vs. Fundamental• Quantitative vs. Qualitative• Conceptual vs. Empirical
Non empirical research is the study of data from existing information. In non-empirical research the researcher can make a conclusive argument and he can prove the arguments without consulting the data.
Empirical research is research that is done by directly observing something. An example is your basic science experiment that you learn in grade school.
Medical research often involves a combination of both empirical and theoretical approaches. Empirical research relies on data and observations gathered through experiments or direct measurements, while theoretical research involves the development of conceptual frameworks and models to explain phenomena. Both aspects are important for advancing our understanding of medical conditions and developing new treatments.
Applied research is a type of research that is applied, accessing and using some part of the research communities' (the academy's) accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques, for a specific, often state, commercial, or client driven purpose. Applied research is often opposed to pure research, also known as basic research, in debates about research ideals, programs, and projects.Although it is impossible to generalize completely, Applied Research deals with practical problems and is generally empirical. Because applied research resides in the messy real world, strict research protocols must often be relaxed. For example, it may be impossible to use a random sample. Thus, transparency in the methodology is critical. Implications for interpretation of results brought about by relaxing a more or less strict cannon of methodology should also be developed.The OECD's Frascati Manual defines "Applied research" as one of the three forms of research, along with basic research & experimental development.
the empirical formula does not include the # of atoms present in an element and the molecular formula does.
applied research
Similarities between pure and applied research
Empirical evidence is a type of evidence that is used in research. Empirical evidence is evidence that is accumulated through direct observation or experimentation.
Technology is advancing all the time. Any new research is applied to the current technology. Therefore, applied research is basically research into technology that is then applied!
