Today the internet has an inf in ite number of appl icat ions for any user. Information Technolog y The World Wide Web (or web) on the internet was created to share the resu lts of stud ies that were done at CER N. The resu lts help to desig n spor ts equ ipment and veh icles w ith less a i r resistance. Aerody namics The movement of a i r or water on sol id objects is stud ied in laborator ies. Its applications range from the administration of medicines to the manufacture of fabrics that clean themselves. Nanotechnolog y Th is was created in laborator ies by study ing the behav iou r of mat ter at the level of on ly a few atoms (nanosca le). In dent istr y they a re used to f i l l gaps. They a re appl ied as a paste and become ha rd when a l ight is appl ied . Poly mers Chemistr y laborator ies create specia l mater ia ls for speci f ic uses. Many of them a re poly mers. Today it is a way of ident i f y ing d iseases by obta in ing images of the body. Nuclear magnetic resonance In it ia l ly it was used in laborator ies to study the str uctu re of molecu les. Biotechnolog y helps to create vaccines and other med icines. Biotechnolog y The str uctu re of mat ter and substances in l iv ing th ings is stud ied in chemistr y laborator ies.

It ma kes cont inuous development and technolog ica l advances possible. Look at some examples of how resea rch in d i f ferent f ields leads to advances in technolog y. 15 How could the results of your research be applied to technology? CHALLENGE 19
