The development of science and technology have been providing numerous benefits to humankind.These kind of improvement have modernize our world. Most skyscrapers are build the result of science and technology developments. Gizmos and gadgets is no becoming more advance. Recently, Apple had produced the iPhone. iPhone is one of the technology boasted progress. If before, we connect to someone using wired telephone, now we are using a more improve kind of phone that possess mulitple-tasks.

The German's development in science and technology field is considered vital in the country as it is one of the main driveforce behind

German have been yielding many expert researcher in various science and technology fields. Nobel Prizes had awarded to more than 100 leading figures originated from the country. Masterpieces of Albert Einstein and Max Planck is the bedrock of the modern physic knowledge, which was later further developed by Werner Heisenberg and Max Born. They were precedented by physicists such as Hermann von Helmholtz, Joseph von Fraunhofer and Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit.Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen had discovered the radioation light he termed 'X-Ray'. His find had granted him as the first Nobel Prize receiver in Physic back at 1901. Werner von Braun had build the first ever space rocket (which is also the first ever succeded to fly beyond 100 km beyond space border) and was later becom NASA's leading scientist who developed the moon rocket Saturn V. The success had paved the way for the famous Apollo Program. Heinrich Rudolf Hertz work in electromagnetic ray is important towards the modern telecommunication technology with the developed of University Leipzig's first laboratory in 1879. Through it, Wilhelm Wundt is consider as the forefather of psychology domain as independent empirical science. Alexander von Humboldt contribution as a naturalist and discoverer had builf the foundation to biogeography. Meanwhile, a vast microelectronic complex was also build in Stuttgart.

Several reknown mathematicians was also produced by Germany. The list include Carl Friedrich Gauss, David Hilbert, Bernhard Riemann, Gottfried Leibniz, Karl Weierstrass and Hermann Weyl. Germany was even the residence to many inventors and engineers such as Johannes Gutenberg, who invent a mobile printing machine ; Hans Geiger, inventor of Geiger counting device ; dan Konrad Zuse, who first invented the automatic digital computer. Inventor, designer, engineer and entrepeneur like Ferdinand von Zeppelin Lilienthal, Gottlieb Daimler, Rudolf Diesel, Hugo Junkers dan Karl Benz had mould the transport system and modern air accommodation.

Prominent science research institutes in Germany is the Max Planck Association, the Helmholtz-Society and Fraunhofer Association. They maintain significant relation either internal or external with the inversity system and contribute in vast amount of money towards the nation's scientific research efforts.
The prestige Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Award is given to ten scientists and academicians annually. With each presents which granted a maximum of 2.5million €, it is one of the world's highest amount of fund in the research field.
