  Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a powerful tool widely used in
engineering community. It is based on identification of a physical
contradiction in a problem, and based on the corresponding pair of
contradicting parameters selecting a few of suitable inventive principles,
narrowing down the choice and leading to a much faster solution of a problem.
It is remarkable that TRIZ methodology can also be applied to scientific
disciplines. Many of TRIZ inventive principles can be post factum identified in
various in scientific inventions and discoveries. However, additional inventive
principles, more suitable for scientific disciplines, should be introduced and
added to standard TRIZ, and some of the standard inventive principles need to
be reformulated to be better applicable to science - we call this extension
Accelerating Science TRIZ. In this short note we describe and illustrate the
AS-TRIZ inventive principles via scientific examples, identifying AS-TRIZ
inventive principles in discoveries and inventions originated from physics,
biology, and other areas. This brief note, we believe, is yet one more step
towards bringing TRIZ methodology closer into the scientific community.
