“Hunger” (La Faim)

Computer Animation - an Oscar Winning Performance

National Research Council Canada

Audiences around the world have been captivated by the animated wizardry in movies such as the Harry Potter series. Behind this big screen magic lies a technology from Canada’s National Research Council (NRC) that changed the face of cinematic art. In fact, in 1997, NRC animation pioneers were honoured with an Academy Award in the technical achievement category for their contribution to the animation industry. NRC scientists designed an animation package that could generate complete animated

Thomas Abriel

Arrow Lakes Historical Society

Thomas Abriel was born in Pope’s Harbour, Nova Scotia, in July 1867. While young, he learned the pulp mill trade. This workplace damaged his health; and he came to British Columbia to prospect for gold. Abriel arrived in Nakusp, on the Arrow Lakes of the Columbia River System in British Columbia, in 1892. Showing his entrepreneurial nature, he started by cutting firewood for steamboats on the lake, and hung paper for a hotel that was under construction. Later endeavours included having a news

Faith Fyles: Canadian Botanist and Painter

Carleton University

Story by: Beth Robertson Faith Fyles, B.A. (1875-1961) was a professional botanist in early twentieth-century Canada. Fyles had been educated at McGill, where she studied under Professor Carrie Derick—another exceptional woman botanist who no doubt inspired Fyles to pursue a career in the field. In 1910, Fyles obtained employment as an assistant seed analyst with the federal Department of Agriculture, a job characterized as “women’s work” at the time. She transferred to the Central Experimental

IMAX® Projector

IMAX® Projector

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

IMAX Corporation first captured the world’s attention with sharp, large-format films at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. The IMAX® projector changed movie-goers’ expectations of spectacular wide-screen films when it debuted in Japan in 1970. IMAX® used an innovative film-transport mechanism to quickly and smoothly advance a 70-mm large-format film through the projector. This film carried an image ten times the size of the standard 35-mmmovie format, making it the largest frame in film history. As a

Canadian General Electric Monitor-Top Refrigerator

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Electric refrigerators changed the way Canadians stored, prepared, and consumed food. Before electric refrigerators, Canadians used root cellars and ice-boxes to preserve their food. In the 1920s, domestic electric refrigerators, or fridges, came onto the market as electrical distribution networks spread across Canada. Fridges used exposed belt-driven compressors to cool food, and resembled ice-boxes in their design; they were also expensive and noisy. Canadian General Electric, a subsidiary of

Production of Insulin

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

This type of bottle was introduced to make insulin widely available to people with diabetes. This insulin bottle, filled at the University of Toronto’s Connaught Laboratories in the 1930s, represents the transformation of insulin from a promising treatment into a self-administered drug that has improved the lives of people with diabetes the world over. After University of Toronto researchers isolated insulin in 1922, they immediately faced challenges in producing the diabetes-regulating drug

Black Brant Rocket

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Research Rocket: Investigating the Upper Atmosphere The Black Brant was Canada’s first research rocket. Its versatility and dependability made it a NASA favourite. The Black Brant rocket established Canada’s Space program and developed Canadian expertise in upper-atmosphere testing. Researchers use rockets to study ionospheric phenomena, especially the Aurora Borealis (or northern lights), and their effect on high-frequency radio communications. They are launched into the ionosphere, where their

Barometer: recording Canada's highest elevation

Barometer: recording Canada's highest elevation

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

This barometer is an aneroid type: an aneroid is a flexible metal chamber partially evacuated of air that is sensitive to changing air pressure. It can be used to record altitude as air pressure decreases with vertical distance from sea level. In climbing Mount Logan, expedition members identified Canada’s highest peak and helped to refine aneroid barometers as a tool for GSC surveyors. This barometer recorded the elevation of Canada’s highest mountain during a 1925 mountaineering expedition and
