Blue sky science

Blue skies research (also called blue sky science) is scientific research in domains where "real-world" applications are not immediately apparent. It has been defined as "research without a clear goal"[1] and "curiosity-driven science." It is sometimes used interchangeably with the term "basic research."[2]
