⌛Physics History Friday⌛ Diffusion pumps typically achieve the lowest vacuum pressures among commonly used pumps in vacuum chambers. These pumps operate by boiling off a low-vapor-pressure substance, which is then accelerated to supersonic speeds through a nozzle. The resulting vapor stream collides with residual gas molecules, dragging them toward the outlet. Diffusion pumps are known for their high circulation rates and ability to reach very low pressures, but they require a low backing pressure to function effectively. One significant drawback for many applications is the risk of oil or mercury contamination in the vacuum chamber or the circulating gas. #PhysicsHistory #VacuumTech #Science

ZPC's Elise Usunier, MBA recently graduated from the Innovation Governance Program (IGP). The IGP is a program offered by the Council of Canadian Innovators | Conseil canadien des innovateurs (CCI) to grow members' professional careers, build diverse governance skill sets, and strengthen their qualifications to serve on the board of a high-growth Canadian technology company. Congratulations Elise, on continuing to grow her skills by completing Level 3 and being featured in The Globe and Mail! #YEGTech #ColderForLonger

⌛ Physics History Friday ⌛ Did you know the vacuum pump was invented over 350 years ago? This means the vacuum pump was created before the first steam engines and while Sir Isaac Newton was still alive. The original vacuum pump was developed by Otto von Guericke, who used a piston and an air cylinder to remove air. As a demonstration, Otto created two copper hemispheres and sealed them together with a vacuum (40 mbar), then tried to pull them apart with 16 horses, showcasing the forces created in a vacuum. To this day vacuums are an essential part of science! #PhysicsHistory #Science #ZPC

⌛ Physics History Friday ⌛ Did you know there is only one instance of a father and son winning the Nobel Prize simultaneously? There are several moments in history where a parent has won a Nobel Prize, and many years later, their child has also won it (including Marie Currie and her daughter Irène). In 1915, Lawrence and William Bragg worked together to map diffraction patterns in crystals using X-rays. This technique has become a common experimental method for material characterization worldwide. Their work also made Lawrence the youngest Nobel Prize winner at the age of 25. #PhysicsHistory #Science #Physics

⌛ Physics History Friday ⌛ Do you know why you can see rainbows during or after a rainstorm? Rainbows occur due to the reflecting and refracting of rays from the sun through raindrops. This difference in the index of refraction causes different wavelengths of light to refract at different angles, spatially dispersing the spectrum. If you are standing in the correct location, where the dispersed visible light is projected toward you, then a rainbow will be visible. If you leave this region of dispersed light, the rainbow will no longer be visible, which explains why you cannot chase rainbows. #Rainbows #ColderForLonger #PhysicsHistoryFriday
