Inventions and Discoveries
Scientists are driven by constant curiosity and inspired to find the truth. Their discoveries have made life easy and also motivated several people. If we talk about scientists like Newton, Galileo, C.V. Raman etc. their great minds of science touched us and inspired us to achieve more. Thus questions about their inventions and discoveries are very common in competitive exams.
Let us study this article about some famous scientists and their inventions.
What are Inventions and Discoveries?
An invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. The invention process is a process within an overall engineering and product development process. It may be an improvement upon a machine or product or a new process for creating an object or a result. Whereas, discovery is the act of detecting something new, or something previously unrecognized as meaningful.
