What’s new in science in the medieval ages?

During the Middle Ages, science was persecuted quite severely. It was believed that scientific hypotheses often contradict the doctrine of the Christian church. However, in the field of some sciences, some discoveries were made. For example, thanks to the development of alchemy, future chemistry began to develop, much was discovered in the field of biology and astronomy (for example, theories appeared that the Earth has the shape of a ball, and also moves around the Sun). Much attention was paid to the humanities, in particular, literature.
