Definition
The term technoscience comes from the work of Latour[1]
Science and technology are relation, rather than two separate elements you would not think of them as being different
Science is always enabled by technology, and technology and science are co-produced.
(The notion indicates a common recognition that scientific knowledge is not only socially coded and historically situated but sustained and made durable by material (non-human) networks. "Technoscience" is a term coined by Belgian philosopher Gilbert Hottois[2] in the late 1970s.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technoscience
