history of science

This page features a unique collection of historically significant scientific instruments, brought back to life through advanced CG technology.

Prologue of the Electrical Age

In our series "The Prologue of the Electrical Age," we take a journey back through the history of electricity from 1600 to 1900. We showcase about 20 key, aesthetically striking historical instruments. With the help of precise CG imagery, we bring these vintage instruments back to their former glory. Alongside, we delve into their operational mechanisms and the groundbreaking scientific discoveries they led to.

Döbereiner’s lamp

Döbereiner's lamp is a lighter invented in 1823 by the German chemist Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner. The Döbereiner's lamp is considered as the first commercial application of heterogeneous catalysis and was commercialized for lighting fires and pipes.

The Evolution of Microscopes

How far have humans come in the pursuit of seeing smaller?

Since the invention of the first optical microscope by Hans Jansen in 1590, generations of scientists and inventors have progressively enhanced the precision of microscopes. This short CG animation recreates seven of the most iconic microscopes from the period of 1590 to 1826, marking the start of humanity's quest to explore the microscopic world.
