Aperture Science, a fictional company from the “Portal” video game series, was crafted by game developer Valve Corporation. Originating as a shower curtain manufacturer, it evolved into an innovative research corporation, infamous for its hazardous experiments and the creation of the iconic Portal Gun. Founded by Cave Johnson in the United States, its primary aim was to outdo its rival, Black Mesa, in scientific achievements, although often with reckless disregard for safety or ethics.
