to discover

a) (in terms of forensic and criminal investigations): not to be confused with, and the exact opposite of, to invent.

b) (in terms of technological/medical/scientific progress): to use methods that have been used in the past (on issues that are no longer relevant in one's own society) to tackle modern issues
a) If you are a serial murderer you can be telling me your limo is triple parked all you want; you are not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. Forensic science is there to discover exactly what the 5 journalistic w's and 1h are in your specific case.

b) When you discover something, you are most likely using a long-ago invented, tried, and abandoned solution (to a past problem) to tackle modern issues; that being said, why can't we use methods such as corpse incineration, that have been tried during the Middle Ages on the Black Death, on the current Ebola epidemic?
