Abstract
Science owes much of its success to the specialized approach, which endeavours to isolate objects and phenomena and to study them under elimination of the disturbing influences of the surroundings and internal contaminations. Thus, for instance, physicists grow pure single crystals of various chemical elements and compounds and study their mechanical, thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties under strictly controlled conditions of pressure, temperature and other parameters.
