Scientific research applications and usage
Abstract
Scientific research is one area of applications and usage of big data where we can generate lots of data in a single experiment and perform complex analytics on the same in the outcome of that experiment. The most famous example that we can talk about is the usage of all infrastructure technologies in the discovery of the “God particle” or “Higgs boson particle” which is leading us to uncover more exploration around the universe.
