Join the Hyperthesis team as we venture into the realm of quantum mechanics by discussing Berry phases and the Aharanov-Bohm Effect. We break down these complex concepts and talk about their impact on quantum mechanics in general. Before then, we discuss new results from research on creating new elements in a science-based version of alchemy. Finally, we end off the episode discussing the life of David Bohm, who was a famous physicist who had a big involvement in philosophy and the Manhattan Project (without actually being a part of the Manhattan Project).

Check out the article discussed in the intro topic titled "Toward the Discovery of New Elements: Production of Livermorium (Z=116) with 50Ti": https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.133.172502
