Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

If you let an electron touch a positron (anti-matter version of electron) they'll both annihilate into gamma rays but if you are VERY careful and let them get close but NOT touch then they can form a bound state called positronium that acts kinda like a hydrogen atom for a few hundred nanoseconds 💫
