The collection of ancient scientific texts began in earnest at the start of the 15th century and continued up to the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, and the invention of printing allowed a faster propagation of new ideas. Nevertheless, some have seen the Renaissance, at least in its initial period, as one of scientific backwardness.
The dates listed in this section refer to the earliest evidence of an invention found and dated by archaeologists (or in a few cases, suggested by indirect evidence). Dates are often approximate and change as more research is done, reported and seen. Older examples of any given technology are often found.
Discrete quantum interactions within living systems became amenable to analysis and manipulation. Genetic engineering became a commercially viable technology. The changes and attitude of social concern regarding science in the 1970s was addressed by Warren Weaver, who said that "Scientific theories cannot be rigidly deterministic." Technology
Astronomy March 29 total eclipse from Turkey. January 15 – NASA's Stardust mission successfully ends, the first to return dust from a comet. January 25 – The discovery of the planet OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb through gravitational microlensing is announced by PLANET/RoboNet, OGLE and MOA; February 1 – 2003 UB 313 is found to be larger than Pluto.
The invention of the verge and foliot escapement in c.1275 was one of the most important inventions in both the history of the clock and the history of technology. It was the first type of regulator in horology. A verge, or vertical shaft, is forced to rotate by a weight-driven crown wheel, but is stopped from rotating freely by a foliot.
SpaceX plans to ramp up the production of new Starship vehicles, approximately six, Musk said, in 2024. "Ultimately, we'll need to build a lot more ships than boosters, especially for Mars," he added.
History of science and technology. December 17 – Dismantling of James Watt's workshop for display in the Science Museum, London, commences. Mathematics. Stefan Banach and Alfred Tarski publish the Banach–Tarski paradox. David Hilbert proposes Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel. Medicine
Anti-graffiti coating (Deletum 3000): developed in the early 2000s at UNAM’s Applied Physics and Advanced Technology Centre in Querétaro Mexico. Earthquake Resistant Foundations: invented by engineer Manuel González Flores in 1945. Continuous-flow intersections were first invented by Mexican engineer Francisco Mier.
