Scientific study of current affairs? (11)
I believe the answer is:
electronics
'scientific study' is the definition.
'electronics' can be an answer for 'study' (electronics is a kind of study). I am not certain of the 'scientific' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for electronics that I've seen before include "Circuits with transistors, microchips, etc" , "Semiconductor-based circuitry" , "Circuits using transistors, chips, etc" , "area of technology" , "subject in its own right" .)
