The branch of infrascience that examines the infrastructure underlying the natural sciences—physics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and related fields. Natural infrasciences investigate the foundational systems, structures, and conditions that make natural scientific inquiry possible: experimental infrastructure (particle accelerators, laboratories, observatories) that enables research on the physical world; measurement infrastructure (instruments, sensors, detectors) that provides empirical access to natural phenomena; computational infrastructure (simulation software, data analysis tools, modeling platforms) that extends theoretical capabilities; data infrastructure (databases, repositories, archives) that preserves and shares observations; and institutional infrastructure (research centers, funding agencies, international collaborations) that supports large-scale natural science. Natural infrasciences reveal that natural science is never just about studying nature—it's always built on infrastructure that shapes what can be discovered about nature, and understanding natural science requires understanding this infrastructure.
