PhysicsPhysics
•IT has a huge impact on physics
•Used by experimenters to:
•Collect data
•Store data
•Analyze data
•Perform complex calculations and simulations
AstronomyAstronomy
• Improves “data handling”
• archives
• intelligent storage
• databases
• Allows exploration of the universe
• new technology = more possibilities
BiologyBiology
• Biological processes are interpreted by means of informational processing
• Computer models help biologists design new experiments
• For example, a software developed by Serafim Batzoglou can store the entire human DNA in a computer, making it possible to look for genetic differences between individuals and species
ChemistryChemistry• Internet – information is available quickly
and research is easier
• Simulations of chemical mixtures, etc.
• Faster and more accurate results
Social ScienceSocial Science
• Makes communication easier (email)
• Enables taking pictures from space (geography)
• Researching history is simplified
• Education is better – programs and other resources can be used
