What is the difference between science and technology?

A:

First, the form is different-science is generally manifested in the form of knowledge and theory; Technology is generally manifested in material form and directly applied software form.

Second, different tasks-scientifically solve "what" and "why"; Technology solves "what to do" and "how to do".

Third, the purpose is different-science is to explore the unknown essence of phenomena and take "understanding the subject" as its own responsibility; Technology is the sublimation of existing knowledge, which is used in the activity of "transforming the subject".

Fourth, different management methods-scientific emphasis on "how is the work"; Technology focuses on "how to work".

5. The scientific revolution and the technological revolution are not the same thing-the scientific revolution, such as Copernicus and Newton, solved the macro low-speed motion law; Later Planck and Einstein put forward quantum theory and special relativity; Current life science research, etc. The technological revolution often leads to the industrial revolution. The first time was the steam engine, the second time was the motor, and the third time was the computer, which entered the information network era.

Sixth, the evaluation criteria are different-the scientific requirements are "deep" and the technical requirements are "new".

Seven, the classification is different-science does not need to be kept secret, all secrets are technology. Advanced scientific discoveries are announced first, and new technologies are absolutely confidential.

8. Different prices-science has no commercial nature and cannot be sold or transferred; But new technology is expensive.

Extended data

The link between science and technology:

Science and technology are always inseparable. They are interdependent, interpenetrating and transforming each other. Science is the theoretical basis of technological development, and technology is the means of scientific development.

Science can often inspire us to put forward new features of things that we have never thought of before, and then lead to the emergence of new technologies. New technologies often need new insights, and new research often needs new technologies. People use technology to invent more and more new instruments and technologies, which in turn promote scientific research in all aspects.

Technology not only provides tools for scientific research, but also stimulates theoretical research power and provides direction.

With the rise of modern scientific revolution and technological revolution, science and technology are more and more integrated. The closer the connection between science and technology. The emergence and development of many emerging technologies, especially high technology, directly comes from the achievements of modern science. Science is the sublimation of technology, and technology is the extension of science. The internal unity and coordinated development of science and technology has become an important feature of today's "big science".
