'''Aperture Science''' is the mysterious research corporation behind the plot of [[Portal]].


According to [http://www.aperturescience.com its website], Aperture was founded by [[Cave Johnson]] in 1953 as a manufacturer of shower curtains. 26 years later, Aperture began development of the 'man-sized ad hoc quantum tunnel through physical space with possible applications as a shower curtain,' also called the 'Portal.'
Aperture eventually created the [[weapon_portalgun|Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device]], and built the [[Aperture Science Enrichment Center]] to test it. They also created [[GLaDOS]] in response to the news that [[Black Mesa]] was working on a similar portal technology.
The game, Portal, is set mostly in the test chambers of the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. After escaping the test chambers (and near-death), the player finds that the Enrichment Center is deserted, with abandoned desks and disconnected phones. It is apparently run only by GLaDOS.
