[Harry Potter] why didn't more Muggle-born students try to combine basic Science with magic?

I'm not talking about building a nuclear reactor at Hogwarts lol, but just basic stuff. Imagine a wizard who understands high-school level chemistry or physics. Could use a Gemini charm on a lithum-ion battery? could use Wingardium Leviosa to create a perpetual motion machine for energy? It feels like wizarding world is missing out on some massive life hacks by completely ignoring Muggle logic.
