“…Technology changes in history, and so do the artifacts and techniques studied in the technological sciences. Chemistry has long been both a science and an art or technology (see Klein 2005). Today, chemistry is institutionally divided into many specialized fields, ranging from university-based chemistry, to chemical engineering, to industrial chemical research and development.…”

“…She argued that because chemical operations manipulated and transformed materials, any speculative activity that had some relation to experimentation could be useful in an industrial or practical context as well because of knowledge gained of the materials produced. 59 Technical artisanal skills have repeatedly been mentioned as a factor sustaining technological development, with possible roots in existing industries including instrument making, maritime trade and metallurgy. 60 The number of close investigations of this issue remains limited, but David Mitch has argued that the contribution of specific educational institutions to technological creativity has been difficult to determine.…”

“…III, pl.CX, after p.788, Wellcome Library, London connections between science and technology were, in the words of Ursula Klein, 'entrenched in a shared material culture', exchanging knowledge, skill and instruments. 70 Yet such a relationship had been shaped by social, political and cultural conditions surrounding burning-glasses for at least a hundred years. At the close of the eighteenth century, large burning lenses were for Louis Bernard Guyton de Morveau (1737-1816) and Humphry Davy (1778-1829) instrumental in their discoveries that diamond and charcoal were each made of pure carbon.…”
