We have done stuff lately, there are muslim papers in science journals/periodicals go have a look for yourself.

however yes we are behind the world when it comes to many of these things. we lack prestige, power etc. and this is mainly because we lack barakah, not because we lack potential great minds, or resources. just take a look at saudi they have everyhting in terms of wealth etc. but what they
(and the rest of us) lack is barakah in that wealth. barakah would allow us to invest our wealth in all the right places like masajid, charity, madrassas, schools, non-co-ed universities.

since our priorities are now messed up, i.e. pleasing allah is not our priority (if it was there would not be a single co-ed institution in the Islamic world), rather fulfilling our nafs and succumbing to the whispers of shaytan our now our goals, we have lost that izzat which allah had granted us.

when our hearts are again firm on the sunnah of rasulullah, worldy progress will come as well afluence (but we must not let that tempt our nafs).

read this article and listen to this lecture...the lecture is very important!!!
