Science and technology
Research, inventions, space and the machines around us.
The sciences are named with 학 (study): 물리학, 생물학; the person who does the work often ends in 자: 과학자, 기술자. Newer fields simply borrow the English word, so 데이터, 알고리즘 and 디지털 sit beside Sino-Korean words such as 반도체 (“half-conductor”) without anyone finding it odd.
