How to unlock the In the name of Science achievement in Syndicate - Definitive Guide

Easily done in multiplayer.

First, complete a mission to unlock blueprints.

Under 'Agent' scroll down to the bottom to customizations and research. Unlock what you want to research and set it as your current research.

Now play missions. The XP gained during your mission will be applied to the ability or weapon upgrade your are currently researching. Once your selection is fully researched, this achievement will unlock.

It's always best to be researching an application & a weapon upgrade, simultaneously. XP gained will be applied to both. Also, good to have another research item queued to go.

Perhaps you might want to mention that you will need to play a mission first to unlock blueprints needed to do the research.

I don't imagine this will be discontinued when the servers go down? This has nothing to do with the multiplayer from what I've seen so far, other than the icon on TA.

Unobtainable due to Server Closure

There are two kinds of research, Weapons research and Application research available in the Agent tab in the Co-Op menu. First you need to unlock a research by acquiring Research Tokens and selecting the research that you wish to unlock. Do this then specify the research to be completed by pressing Cross18x18.png on it again. Every research item has a number next to it that specifies the required amount of tokens and score points (e.g: 0/15000). Score points that you earn by completing Co-Op missions will be used to complete the research and make it available for use.

Note: You can manually select an item to be researched first, and queue the next one in line by using Cross18x18.png and square18x18.png. This step is sometimes necessary after a mission if you have multiple research items unlocked and you find that none of your points earned are being used to fuel the progress of these research.

Weapons research Tokens: Acquired by killing and Chip-Ripping high ranking enemies such as liquid/electro/reactive armor and Enemy Agents. Anyone can Chip Rip the target and still the whole team will be awarded the tokens. There is no limit to the amount of Weapons Research Tokens that can be acquired.

Application research Tokens: Acquired by completing missions. Completing a coop mission on normal grants 3 tokens, hard grants 4 tokens and Expert grants 5 tokens. These tokens are given only for the first time that you complete the map on a specific difficulty but don't worry there is enough to unlock all Application research. If you complete a map on hard the first time, you gain 7 tokens in total (3 from normal + 4 from hard).

Research is completed by using blueprint or application tokens on upgrades for weapons and apps. After tokens are used, that upgrade must be selected for active research. A little cog will appear next to the tech you are researching. This tech will have a progress bar and number listed; this is the amount of experience needed to finish the research. As you play, that bar will fill up behind the scenes and alert you when it's completed while on a mission.
