Science is using the scientific method to discover or document reality.
Scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena and acquiring new knowledge, as well as for correcting and integrating previous knowledge. It is based on observable, empirical, measurable evidence, and subject to laws of reasoning. All such evidence is collectively called scientific evidence.
Einstein use this method to discover Energy is Mass times the Speed of light squared. (E=MCsquared).
Chemists use the Scientific method (science) to discover how Electricty works (done). Discover the Atom. Discover DNA. Crimilologists use the scientific method to examine crime scenes. Dr. Henry Lee is a Scientist.
Computers - science!

Pure science is scientific research aimed purely at increasing our knowledge, not necessarily related to profit or a quantifiable end-product.
An example of pure science might be research into String Theory. Basically any research without a practical end product in mind.

Science in the broadest sense refers to any knowledge or trained skill, especially (but not exclusively) when this is attained by verifiable means.[1] The word science also describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from such study. In a more restricted sense, science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge based on empiricism, experimentation, and methodological naturalism, as well as to the organized body of knowledge humans have gained by such research. This article focuses on the meaning of science in the latter sense.
Scientists maintain that scientific investigation must adhere to the scientific method, a process for evaluating empirical knowledge that explains observable events in nature as results of natural causes, rejecting supernatural notions.
