In addition to this legitimate research, several secret projects are also carried out at Black Mesa, which are deliberately left vague.

The research is mostly conducted in the Black Mesa Research Facility and includes both pure research and applied science. If the two scientific forces were to competently combine their resources due to the act of some benign ROB, not only would humanity become a potent stellar civilization within decades, but the Combine invasion would eventually be forced to face one of the most terrifying race of super-soldiers in Earth history armies of flash cloned Gordon Freeman troopers equipped with energy shielded power armor, an unnatural resistance to physical damage, molecular destabilization weapons, the ability to deploy anywhere in the world instantly via teleportation and bore a hole through any surface via quantum singularities, reinforced on field AI constructs and the capacity to defy physics with each leap, punch and sprint.Black Mesa undertakes research in various fields from standard scientific research to radiation, rocketry, theoretical physics, lasers, experimental propulsion, hydraulics, robotics, hydroelectricity, genetics, zoology, applied mathematics and a very wide spectrum of research into chemistry and all manner of physics research. Aperture basically went to balls to the wall with every conceivable SCIENCE! imaginable, from teleportation, miniature black holes, quantum tunneling, time travel, miniaturized low power AI's that can run off a single volt, highly destructive energy pellets, forcefields, antimatter generation, memory uploading, physics defying gels, photon bridges, tractor beams, cloning and high impact suppression devices but ultimately lacked the vision to pursue any one goal. Yes, admittedly tearing a hole in the space-time continuum and opening Earth to hostile alien refugees who bought with them a multi-verse spanning Empire was a bit of a whoopsie, but it was a successful whoopsie nonetheless. Whereas Black Mesa was infamous for a very narrow field of research, they did so with comparatively sincere professionalism. If they can curb their suicidal insanity, Aperture would be two steps away from practical godhood in technological terms.
