13 physics innovations you may not know are Canadian

13 physics innovations you may not know are Canadian

Canadians are a notoriously humble bunch, and we tend not to toot our collective horn about our achievements. (Sorry about that.) But this year is Canada’s sesquicentennial, so if there was ever a time to celebrate Canada’s incredible contributions to the world, this is it.

For the sake of brevity, we’re going to focus on Canadian innovations in the field closest to our heart, physics.
We compiled this list with help from Canadian Governor General David Johnston, who collaborated with tech leader Tom Jenkins on the book Ingenious: How Canadian Innovations Made the World Smarter, Smaller, Kinder, Safer, Healthier, Wealthier, and Happier. (Watch the video interview with the Governor General at the bottom of this page.)
How many of these Canadian physics innov-eh-tions did you know about?
