The exploration delves into the evolution of "applied science" over two centuries, highlighting the interactions between lay actors and scientists within the UK context. It examines how political dynamics, narratives, and institutions contributed to the formation of this scientific category, which ultimately declined as "technology" emerged as the dominant focus. The study offers insights that resonate beyond the UK, reflecting broader international implications in the landscape of scientific thought and practice.
