Applied science is the exact science of applying knowledge from one or more natural scientific fields to practical problems. Many applied sciences can be considered forms of engineering. Applied science is important for technology development. Its use in industrial settings is usually referred to as research and development. The following are the major fields where we can see the different uses of applied sciences-: Artificial intelligence, Ceramic engineering, Computing technology, Electronics, Energy, Energy storage, Engineering physics, Environmental technology, Materials science, Materials engineering, Microtechnology, Nanotechnology, Nuclear technology and Optical engineering.
Artificial Intelligence-: It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but Artificial Intelligence does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines. Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world.
We can use it in different purposes like game playing, speech recongnition, understanding natural language, computer vision, expert systems and heuristic classification.
Ceramic Engineering-: Ceramic engineering is the technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials. Ceramic covers inorganic non-metallic materials which are formed by the action of heat. The technology of manufacturing and usage of ceramic materials is part of the field of ceramic engineering. Most of ceramic materials are hard, porous, and brittle. The study and development of ceramics includes methods to mitigate problems associated with these characteristics, and to accentuate the strengths of the materials as well as to investigate novel applications.
Energy Storage-: Energy storage as a natural process is as old as the universe itself. Storing of some form of energy that can be drawn upon at a later time to perform some useful operation is knwon as Energy Storsge. A device that stores energy is sometimes called an accumulator. All forms of energy are either potential energy such as chemical or gravitational, kinetic energy, thermal energy, or electrical energy. A wind up clock stores potential energy here mechanical, in the spring tension, a battery stores readily convertible chemical energy to keep a clock chip in a computer running electrically even when the computer is turned off, and a hydroelectric dam stores power in a reservoir as gravitational potential energy. Even food is a form of energy storage, chemical in this case.
Environmental Technology-: Environmentel Technology is Technology that can be applied to enable environmentally sound technological development and products. It includes process technology, purification technology, treatment of waste such as recycling. Development of products and technical equipment to observe and preserve the environment by preventing pollution. Environmental sciences are applied to conserve the natural environment and resources, and by curbing the negative impacts of human involvement. Sustainable development is the core of environmental technologies.
