Starfleet Science

Starfleet Science was a division of the Federation Starfleet.

In 2373, Starfleet Science concluded that polaron radiation would destabilize the physiology of a Changeling and reveal any impersonating a humanoid when they would be unable to hold the form. 

In 2374, Starfleet Science assigned Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E) to assist Lem Faal in an attempt to create an artificial wormhole.
