Join Pheely, Liam, Patrick and special guest Mayukh Bagchi on the Hyperthesis Podcast! Mayukh is currently a PhD candidate at Queen's University. His research focuses on balloon radio astronomy. Balloon astronomy involves letting very large balloons float into the upper atmosphere whilst carrying scientific equipment to observe and take measurements of the cosmos. We discuss the various benefits of balloon astronomy compared to terrestrial approaches, along with Mayukh's passion for science communication. Before delving into this however, Pheely discusses new research from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey team and how our Milky Way galaxy may not truly be representative of other galaxies within the universe like we originally thought. To end the episode, Patrick gives us a history lesson regarding humanities race for the biggest telescope of all time.

Join Liam, Pheely, and Patrick as we welcome Duncan Osmond to Hyperthesis. Duncan is currently a Systems Engineer with the Naval Engineering Test Establishment, but has a background in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) research. While we briefly touch on the open part of his current work, we delve deeper into MR and his research at the University of New Brunswick. Before then, Patrick talks about the inspiring and extreme field research conducted by Dr. Russell Schnell, along with new findings about how much carbon the ocean can store. Pheely ends off the episode with a story about the failed Zumwalt class destroyers of the United States of America Navy.

The oceans can store 20% more carbon than previously thought: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06772-4

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
