Pure science is research for its own sake; the idea is to expand our general body of knowledge. Applied science is research with a specific goal in mind, such as a new drug or more efficient vehicle.

Pure science can lead to applied science by making a discovery which has an immediate or obvious practical application. One famous example would be nylon stockings, which grew out of polymer experiments in the then-new science of plastics.

Diffirinate applied science and pure science?

Do not worry you aren't the first to ask this. These are the answers simplified and sciencified. Pure science is something with a lab component, examples are biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy and physiology. An applied science is a science that incorporates many sciences such as fire science or nutrition. Simplified:Yeah stick to pure science unless you really know what you want to do and there are plety of jobs in that field - specify later on. Pure: Hey the apple fell to the ground because of gravity. Applied: Oww the spanner fell on my foot because of gravity ;-)

Pure science is intangible and theoretical like biology, anatomy, and geology. Applied science is applying the theories and making them into something tangible like satellites and laboratory equipment.


What is pure science and applied science?

Pure biology is simply the facts about the living world. In research terms, it is basic research, describing migrations of birds, or studying molecules for their function. Applied biology includes fields such as agriculture and conservation. It is taking the pure biology and applying to a problem or field. For example, in pure biology we may find that multiple chromosomes increases the health of a certain species of wheat. Applied biology could use that information to improve the crops that we eat.

It has more to do with Technology or Applied Science. 'Discovery' would be the more Pure Science-y word.


Difference between pure science and impure sciences?

The contrast is between "pure" and "applied", not between "pure" and "impure". Pure science investigates questions without regard to any practical applications that might derive from answering the questions. Applied science chooses questions to investigate based on the anticipated usefulness of answering the question. Anyone using the term "impure science" is just making a joke.
