La recherche fondamentale et les technologies de notre temps

Science and Technology on November 24th, 2010

Comment apprécier la "distance" entre la recherche de base et les technologies de notre temps? Sommes-nous devant un fossé qui ne cesserait de se creuser ou au contraire serait-il en voie de comblement? Il est difficile de répondre de manière univoque à cette question: chacun trouvera pour y répondre des exemples destinés à justifier telle ou telle préconception. Peut-être une approche rétrospective nous permettra-t-elle d'éclairer un peu le débat.

Basic research and its relationship to modern technology

Science and Technology on November 24th, 2010

How are we to assess the distance between basic research and the essential technologies of the modern age? Are we in the process of building the bridge that will unite the two domains or is the gulf between them growing wider by the day? Reconciling the interested parties in any definitive way remains difficult as each side can furnish multiple examples to support their perspective on the matter.
