The year 1700 in science and technology involved some significant events.
Exploration
- September 6 – Edmond Halley returns to England after a voyage of almost one year on HMS Paramour, from which he has observed the Antarctic Convergence,[1] and publishes his findings on terrestrial magnetism in General Chart of the Variation of the Compass.
Geology
Medicine
Technology
- approx. date – The clarinet might have been invented by the German flute maker Joseph Mamadski as a modification of the chalumeau, but it will not be until the late 18th century that composers include clarinets into their orchestrations.[3]
- The piano, newly invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori, is listed in an inventory of musical instruments owned by the Medici.
