Science + Technology

Thanks so much for dropping by SelectSurf! We've scoured the web to identify the best Science + Technology websites for your reference.

We all use science in some way every day—assuming you try to make at least one logical decision per day. For those whose rate is a little higher, the Internet once again has its share of top sites. In some ways, this category is similar to the “Computers/Technology” category also featured on the site, but there is more of an emphasis here on scientific achievements in all areas, not just computers and electronics. Among other things, you can learn about recent advances in environmental, chemical, and psychological studies. Most scientific journals have associated websites now where you can get acquainted with the publication’s content and goals. Certain subscription databases even offer full-text archives of hundreds of journals.
The Internet has also changed the way in which actual scientists collaborate with other researchers. For one thing, it has made it easier for scientists to work together without being in the same geographic location. In some cases, the internet can even be an important part of a study by involving users in a survey or some other interactive activity.
Physicist Sir William Lawrence Bragg wrote that “the important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them.” Thanks to the Internet, more ways of thinking are now possible than ever before. You’ll find just a few of them in the list of the top “Science & Technology” links assembled below.
