- Host Erika Hamden explores quantum mysteries. We visit a University of Arizona lab where the world’s fastest electron microscope is capable of viewing subatomic particles in motion, and we meet with anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff to discuss his profound theory of quantum consciousness.
World’s Fastest Electron Microscope
The Guinness World Record for developing the world’s fastest electron microscope now belongs to the University of Arizona, thanks to breakthroughs made by Associate Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences, Mohammed Hassan. The microscope is so fast that it can match the speed of electrons in motion, meaning that it can resolve clear images of these subatomic particles in real time and space. Soon researchers might be able to use the microscope to better understand the mysterious realm of quantum mechanics.

- 11 months ago
- Description
- Eveli Sabatie, a jeweler born in Algeria, has spent the greater part of her adult life immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of the American Southwest. Her artistic journey took a pivotal turn when she met the renowned Hopi jeweler Charles Loloma—an encounter that would shape the course of her creative life. Captivated by her spirit and potential, Loloma invited Eveli to live and work with him on Hopi land, where she apprenticed under his guidance. His mentorship left a lasting impression on her, yet Eveli soon began to craft a distinctive voice of her own in the world of jewelry. After leaving Hopi, her reputation blossomed, and she became a celebrated figure throughout the Southwest. Notably, she holds the rare distinction of being the only non–Native American artist to exhibit at the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
