>> Ted: NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON," A NEW REPORT LOOKS AT FIREARMS IN RELATION TO HEALTH RISKS IN ARIZONA.

WE'LL HEAR ABOUT EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE USE OF ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES IN THE STATE AND DETAILS ON A MASSIVE FUNDING PROJECT TO ADVANCE LOCAL RESEARCH IN X-RAY SCIENCE.

THOSE STORIES AND MORE NEXT ON "ARIZONA HORIZON."

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

IT'S ELECTION DAY IF PARTS OF PHOENIX WHERE CITY COUNCIL SEATS ARE CONTESTED FOR DISTRICTS 6 AND 8.

THE RACE IN DISTRICT IS BETWEEN KEVIN ROBINSON AND SAM STONE FOR THE CCO WHO IS TERM LIMITED AND THIS IS BETWEEN PHOENIX AND AUWATUKEE AND THIS INCLUDED DOWNTOWN IN SOUTH PHOENIX, IT'S CARLOS GARCIA AND KESHA HODGE.

IT'S EXPECTED TO COME AT 8:00.

>>> CONSUMER PRICES IN THE PHOENIX AREA ARE AMONG THE HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY AND LOCAL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX AT 8.5% OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THAT'S A SLIGHT DIP FROM LAST MONTH'S REPORT AND ABOVE THE NATIONAL RATE OF 6% AND THAT NATIONAL RATE SHOWS A CONTINUED EASING OF INFLATION WHICH, IN TURN, SHOWS THAT THE FEDS RAISING OF INTEREST RATES HAS HAD SOME EFFECT.

>>> NO WORD HOD THE SILICON VALLEY BANK WILL COLLAPSE THE VALLEY AND EMPLOYED OVER 500 WORKS AROUND TEMPE TOWN BANK AND IT CONTINUES TO PROVIDE INVESTMENT SERVICES.

THE OWNERSHIP IS OUT AND THE FDIC HAS TAKEN OVER A NEW NAME AND NOTHING SO FAR HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT THE BANK'S TEMPE OPERATIONS.

>>> THE PENTAGON SAID SAYS A RUSSIAN VOTE HAS TAKEN DOWN A U.S. DRONE OVER THE BLACK SEA.

THE DRONE WAS REPORTEDLY OVER INTERNATIONAL WATERS AND FLANKED BY TWO RINK RUSSIAN JETS.

>> ONEIT CAUSED U.S.

FORCES TO BRING THE MQ9 DOWN IN RINK RUSSIAN WATERS.

THEY DUMPED FUEL ON AND FLEW IN FRONT OF THE MQ9 IN A RECKLESS AND UNPROFESSIONAL MANNER.

THIS DEMONSTRATES A LACK OF COMPENSATION.

>> Ted: ASIANTHIS IS THE FIRST KNOWN INTERACTION OF THIS KIND.

ON A MUCH LIGHTER NOTE, VINYL RECORDS OUTSOLD CD'S LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN THREE DECADES.

THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE RECORD INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA WHICH REPORTS JUST OVER 41 MILLION VINYL RECORDS WERE SOLD LAST YEAR WITH 33 MILLION CD'S PURCHASED.

VINYL RECORD SALES HAVE BEEN GROWING FOR 6 YEARS 16 YEARS.

>>> THE ARIZONA PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION RECENTLY COMMITTED THE PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT OF FIREARM VIOLENCE IN ARIZONA AND FOR MORE ON THE STUDY AND WHAT IT'S FOUND, WE'RE JOINED BY WILL HUMBLE, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE HEALTH ASSOCIATION AND JULIE JACKSON AT THE NORWEGIAN STUDY FROM OSLO AND WILL, FIREARMS, HEALTH RISKS IN ARIZONA.

WHAT WAS GOING ON?

>> TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS LAST YEAR GOT TOGETHER AND IS LOOK BE, -- FIREARMS IS THE LEADING THREE CAUSE OF DEATH IN ARIZONA AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY GOOD EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY THAT'S BEEN DONE IN OF THE LAST TEN YEARS.

WE THOUGHT, WELL, LET'S DO IT OURSELVES.

WE COMMISSIONED THE REPORT AND ALLEN WILLIAMS AND JULIA PUT THIS TOGETHER AND IT DIVES INTO THE DETAILS OF THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF FIREARM VIOLENCE, SUICIDES, HOMICIDES, ET CETERA.

IMPORTANTLY, IT DOES A LITERATURE REVIEW OF WHAT ARE THE POLICY INTERVENTIONS THAT COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

>> OUR GOAL IS TO HOPE OUR POLICY MAKERS TRANSLATE THIS INTO NEW POLICIES.

>> Ted: WILL PRIMED US, BUT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LOOKED FOR AND WHAT YOU FOUND.

>> SO WE WERE LOOKING AT RATES AMONGST DIFFERENT GROUPS IN ARIZONA AS WELL AS WHO WAS MOST AFFECTED BY FIREARM VIOLENCE.

WE SAW THERE WERE INCREASES IN RATES NO MATTER WHICH ASPECT OF FIREARM VIOLENCE THAT YOU LOOKED AT IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT HOMICIDE, SUICIDES AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN INCREASING IN ARIZONA.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS BEHIND THIS AND ONE IS THAT WE'VE SEEN INCREDIBLE INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF FIREARMS THAT HAVE BEEN PURCHASED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND THEN WE ALSO SEE SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES IN DIFFERENT POPULATIONS IN ARIZONA.

SO SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT HOMICIDES, WE SEE THAT BLACK PEOPLE IN ARIZONA HAVE SIX TIMES THE RISK WHITE PEOPLE IN ARIZONA FOR HOMICIDES AND THESE DISPARITIES GO AGAINST RACIAL, ENDETHNIC AND URBAN DIVIDES.

FOR HOMICIDES, BLACK ARIZONAS AND POLICE SHOOTINGS, IT'S BLACK AND INTERESTINGLY AND SADLY, HISPANIC PEOPLE IN ARIZONA HAVE THE HIGHEST RISK THAN ANY OTHER STATE WHEN IT COMES TO HOMICIDES.

>> Ted: A HUMAN TOLL, FINANCIAL TOLL, AS WELL?

>> BIG FINANCIAL TOLL, AS WELL, AND THIS IS A ONE HUNDRED PAGE REPORT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS TO GO INTO HERE AND BIG FINANCIAL IMPACT IN ARIZONA, BILLIONS.

>> Ted: ANYTHING THAT JULIA SURPRISE YOU AT ALL?

>> WELL, NOT THAT SHE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN THE REPORT THAT SURPRISE ME.

>> Ted: LIKE?

>> LIKE THE DEGREE OF THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOMICIDES AND SUICIDES DEMOGRAPHICALLY.

IT DIDN'T SURPRISE ME MEN ARE ON THE TOP OF BOTH CATEGORIES AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE HOMICIDE CATEGORY, IT'S MEN UNDER 40 AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT SUICIDE, IT'S MEN OVER 60, ESPECIALLY MEN OVER 80.

HUGE RATE.

I MEAN, JULIA, ISN'T IT 20 TIMES HIGHER THAN WOMEN AT THE 85 PLUS GROUP.

>> Ted: SOUND RIGHT TOW TO YOU, JULIA?

>> SUICIDES MEN WHITE OVER 80 ARE AT RISK OF FIREARM SUICIDE AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN THE MALE POPULATION VERSUS FEMALE POPULATION AS WELL AS WHITE POPULATION THAN ANY OTHER ETHNIC GROUP.

>> Ted: DID YOU COMPARE ARIZONA TO ANY OTHER STATE?

>> ARIZONA HAS BEEN RATED AS F-RATED STATE IN TERMS OF THE LEGISLATION THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE IT IS INCREDIBLY WEAK.

COMPARING ARIZONA TO F-RATED, YOU SEE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES ACROSS EVERY ASPECT OF FIREARM MORTALITY BECAUSE, SPECIFICALLY, BECAUSE OF THIS LEGISLATION WE DO NOT HAVE.

>> Ted: I WAS GOING TO SAY, IS IT A MATTER OF LAW, BEST PRACTICES THAT OTHER STATES HAVE?

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

>> MINE,LEGISLATION IS A HUGE THING.

ARIZONA DOES NOT HAVE IMPRESSIVE BACKGROUND CHECKS.

WE DO NOT HAVE RED FLAG LAWS AND SECURE STORAGE FOR CHILDREN TO NOT BE IN THE PRESENCE OF UNLOCKED FIREARMS AND WE DON'T REQUIRE A PERMIT FOR CONCEALED CARRY.

A LOT THAT ARIZONA COULD DECREASE RATES THAT THESE A-RATED STATES TO DECREASE MORTALITY.

>> Ted: TAKING THIS INFORMATION, YOU DID SO MUCH TO CLARIFY THE SITUATION.

IS THIS IN A SIMILAR WAY HERE TO CLARIFY WHAT'S GOING ON WITH GUNS?

>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO, TO PUT THE REAL EVIDENCE OUT THERE SO THAT IT'S AVAILABLE FOR POLICY MAKERS TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS.

SO WE CAN'T -- WE'RE NOT LAWMAKERS, BUT WE CAN PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE THAT WE HOPE WILL TRANSLATE INTO BETTER POLICIES IN 2024.

>> Ted: AND JULIA, WHAT DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE FROM THIS RESEARCH?

>> I THINK I WOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE GET INVOLVED, THAT PEOPLE, IF THEY FEEL COMPELLED, TO WRITE TO THE GOVERNOR AND EXPRESS THAT THIS IS A HUGE TOLL ON PEOPLE IN ARIZONA AND THIS IS NOT INEVITABLE.

I'M CONFIDENT IF WE IMPLEMENT SOME EVIDENCE-BASED POLICIES, WE CAN HAVE A SAFER ARIZONA.

>> Ted: SAME THING FOR YOU, WILL?

>> GET INVOLVED.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL AND MORE THAN 1200 PEOPLE A YEAR AND LIKE JULIA SAID, IT'S NOT INEVITABLE, BUT AS -- WE CAN'T CUT IT TO ZERO, BUT WE CAN CUT THIS TO 40% TO 50%.

>> Ted: IS THE WILL TO GET THIS DONE THERE?

>> NOT RIGHT NOW.

>> Ted: THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO ASK.

>> BUT THAT'S IMPORTANT WHEN I SAY NOT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I THINK THE DAY WILL COME.

>> Ted: GOOD TO HAVE YOU JOIN US AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Ted: UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, LOCAL OFFICIALS CALL FOR NEW EPA CLEAN AIR STANDARDS.

CITY OF PHOENIX OFFICIALS AND OTHER LOCAL LEADERS PUSHING TO CLEAN ARIZONA'S AIR QUALITY.

FOR MORE ON THIS, WE WELCOME VICE MAYOR YASSAMINI ANASARI.

THESE ARE NEW FEDERAL STANDARDS AND THIS IS COINCIDING WITH WHAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE.

TRUE?

>> SOMEWHAT.

SO THERE ARE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS AND WE UNDERSTAND THEY'RE REVIEW WAG THEREVIEWING WHAT THE EPA PROPOSED.

TRANSPORTATION IS THE LEADING SOURCE OF CARBON POLLUTION IN THE UNITED STATES.

SO THIS MONTH OF FEBRUARY, I JOINED A SERIES OF ADVOCATES AND LOCAL LEADERS TO CALL ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PASS THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS IN THE NEXT ITERATION WHICH WILL BE COMING OUT THIS MARCH.

>> Ted: THIS IS A FEDERAL EFFORT AND THESE ARE LOCAL LEADERS YOU INCLUDED TELLING THE FEDS, LET'S GET ON THIS.

>> EXACTLY.

>> Ted: HAVE YOU HAD A RESPONSE AT ALL?

>> RESPONSE HAS BEEN GOOD AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT, AGAIN, THE NEW STANDARDS ARE REVIEWED AND I THINK WE MADE A CASE ON WHY THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND I THINK HERE IN ARIZONA, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DATA, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH AND THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH STORY.

PHOENIX IS THE SECOND FASTEST WARMING CITY IN THE COUNTRY AND WE RANK FIFTH FOR WORST OZONE POLLUTION.

TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS THE PRIMARY REASON BEHIND THAT AND MORE THAN 50% OF THE REASON WHY OUR CARBON POLLUTION IS SO BAD IN THE STATE.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE AN EFFECT ON?

IT IMPACTS PUBLIC HEALTH EVERY DAY.

WE'RE SEES RISING ASTHMA RATES, LUNG CANCER, PREDOMINANTLY IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN OUR STATES.

>> Ted: THE IDEA THAT CONSUMERS PAY FOR THIS IN THE LONG RUN, AS WELL.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THIS IS WHY, YOU KNOW, I'M A BIG APPROPRIATE AND I WORK ON CLIMATE ISSUES.

THE REASON WHY TRANSPORTATION IS SO IMPORTANT, IT GOES BEYOND PUBLIC HEALTH AND WE CAN CREATE NEW JOB FOR LOCAL MANUFACTURING AND WE ARE A LEADER IN CLEAN ENERGY.

WE HAVE 60,000 CLEAN ENERGY JOBS IN THE STATE AND SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR MORE.

WHEN RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE AND WE SAW OUR GAS PRICES SKYROCKET.

WE SAW THAT VOLATILITY, WE SAW VERY CLEAR, I THINK THAT WAS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

POLICIES LIKE THE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS MAKE A HUGE IMPACT BECAUSE WE WILL SEE A CAT CATALYST WITH OUR OWN ELECTRIC VEHICLES DRIVING GAS PRICES DOWN BECAUSE WE WON'T SEE THE SAME TEA DEMANDS.

>> Ted: THE CITY OF PHOENIX DOING A LOT.

>> WHEN I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL, I CHAIRED THE MAYOR'S ELECTRIC VEHICLE AD-HOC COMMITTEE AND WE DEVELOPED A ROADMAP FOR THE CITY OF PHOENIX AND PASSED THE FIRST EVER TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION PLAN AND IT WAS BIPARTISAN.

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS BECAUSE IT SHOWS REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND IN INVESTING IN CLEAN ENERGY AND THE IMPACT ON OUR HEALTH AND SECURITY AND SO MUCH MORE.

PUT OUT THIS ROADMAP AND WE'RE SELLING 5 500 CHARGING STATIONS.

YOU GO TO A LIBRARY IN LEVINE, YOU CAN CHARGE YOUR ELECTRIC VEHICLE.

WHEN I GOT ON COUNCIL, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO SEE WE WERE ABOUT TO DROP HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO GAS-POWERED BUSES AND I WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR CITY STAFF, WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND WE ULTIMATELY CHANGED OUR ENTIRE PLAN AND INSTEAD, THANKS TO THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL, WE, ABLE TO ORDER 20 NEW ELECTRIC BUSSED BUSES FOR THE CITY AND WE WILL BE 100% CLEAN BUSES BY 2040.

>> Ted: YOU MENTIONED SPURRING THE ED INDUSTRY IN ARIZONA.

TALK MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE ARE BECOMING A HIGH PROFILED PLAYER IN THAT GAME.

>> I CALL US ELECTRIC VALLEY AND IT'S A TERM THAT HAS BEEN KIND OF WIDELY USE NOD.

USED NOW.

WE HAVE CASA GRANDE.

AND WE HAVE THE AUTONOMOUS CLEAN VEHICLES AND DRIVING FOLKS FROM THE AIRPORT AND THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY AND A LEADER IN THE SPACE.

AND AS A COUNCILMAN, I'M HEARING FROM NEW COMPANIES WHO WANT TO COME AND SET UP SHOP.

AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, COUPLED WITH THE MARKET SHUT THAT WE'RE SEEING FROM CAR MANUFACTURERS WHO ARE SAYING LOUD AND CLEAR, WE'RE INVESTING IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND FOSSIL FUEL, WE'LL SEE THAT JOB GROWTH IN PHOENIX.

>> Ted: IS THERE A JOB GROWTH HERE?

>> PLEASE URGE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FOR THE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS.

NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT.

WE KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND THE INFLATION BILL HAS HAD AND I HOPE TO SEE PRESIDENT BIDEN ENACT THE STANDARDS SOON.

>> Ted: SOUNDS ENCOURAGING AND YASSAMINI ANASARI, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU VERY PITCH.

VERY MUCH.

>> Ted: ASU RECEIVED THE LARGEST SCIENCE FOUNDATION AWARD IN THE UNIVERSITY'S HISTORY, A $91 MILLION PUSH TO BUILD THE FIRST COMPACT X-RAY ELECTRON LASER AND JOINING NOW IS BILL GRAY FOR THE APPLIED STRUCTURAL DISCOVERY AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE BIODESIGN CENTER.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> HAPPY TO BE HERE.

>> PETRA, WE'LL START WITH YOU AND COMPACT X-RAY FREE RAZOR.

>> THIS IS A SOLID MATERIAL AND YOU GET A PICTURE BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED.

X-RAYS DAMAGE MOLECULES AND THIS YOU GET A PICTURE MOLECULE MOVIE BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

>> Ted: AND YOU'RE TALKING SMALL AND COMPACT AND THIS REALLY IS COMPACT, ISN'T IT, IN TERMS OF WHAT THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT IS.

>> ABOUT A HUNDRED TIMES SMALLER THAN ANY X-RAY LASER.

>> Ted: WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT?

>> BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE ABOUT FIVE OF THESE X-RAY LAZIERS IN THE WORLD AND THEY COST ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS AND A MILE LONG.

OURS IS SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN A ROOM AND 30 FEET LONG AND THAT MEANS IT CAN FIT ON A UNIVERSITY CAMPUS WHICH IS WHERE IT IS, AT ASU, IN A BIOLOGY ROOM AND AN INDUSTRY LAB OR CHIP FAB AND ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS.

>> Ted: YOU MENTIONED A HOSPITAL AND LABORATORY AND PETRA, IT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE THE INTRA-CASSIES OF THINGS.

HAVE A PICTURE AND THEN YOU WOULD JUST SEE A PICTURE AND THEN WE WOULD SEE A MOW MOW LEX COO LAR MOVIE AND THEN WE CAN DEVELOP MUCH BETTER MEDICINES, INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND MAKE A HUGE IMPACT IN MEDICINE.

>> Ted: THAT'S FANTASTIC.

RENEWABLE ENERGY AND QUANTUM THERAPY, IS THAT ALL AT PLAY?

>> WE USE X-RAYS BROADLY ACROSS THE SCIENCES, MATERIAL SCIENCE AND PARTICULAR IMPORTANT APPLICATION IS IN SO-CALLED QUANTUM MATERIALS, EXOTIC NEW THATMATERIALS.

SO, FOR INSTANCE, POWER GENERATING STATIONS LOSE ABOUT HALF OF ELECTRICITY JUST IN OVER THE WIRES TO HOMES AND BUSINESSES.

IF THAT WAS SUPER CONDUCTING WIRE, WE WOULD SAVE A FACTOR OF TWO.

>> Ted: SEMICONDUCTOR WIRE, AS WELL?

>> THE CHIPS ARE SMALLER AND SMALLER AT A FEW NANO METERS AND HAVE TROUBLE TELLING WHEN THE MASKSMISALINE AND WITH ONE OF THE LAZIERS IN THE CHIP FAB, YOU CAN SIGH THIS AS YOU'RE BUILDING THE CHIPS, YOU CAN SEE THE DETAILS.

>> Ted: WOW!

THESE DETAILS ARE FANTASTIC HERE.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE PROCESS?

IS IT DEVELOPED AND A DONE DEAL?

WHAT ARE WE IN THE PROCESS HERE?

>> WE HAVE JUST FINISHED THE FIRST PROTOTYPE, CALLED X-RAY COMPACT LIGHT SOURCE.

THIS WAS FOUR WEEKS AGO AND THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT FOR US GETTING THESE $90 MILLION.

THIS IS THE FIRST PROOF OF PRINCIPLE.

THIS IS JUST SHORTLY BEFORE THE DECISION WAS MADE.

THE FIRST ONE WAS BUILT BY A HUGE INVESTMENT FROM ASU AND A PRIVATE DONOR AND THIS GIVES US TEN MILLION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE FIRST PROTOTYPE AND THE SECOND ONE WILL NOT BE MORE POWERFUL AND ALSO FASTER.

SO EVEN FASTER THAN THE ONE AND EVEN MORE SIGNS TO BE PAID.

>> Ted: WE'RE TALKING ABOUT X-RAYS AND WE HAVEN'T DONE MANY STORIES AND MANY HAVE BEEN LEFT AS OTHER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED HERE AND X-RAYS ARE STILL IMPORTANT, AREN'T THEY?

>> OH, YES ANYBODY WHO TAKES A TRIP TO THE ER, THE FIRST PLACE IS INTO RADIOLOGY, INTO THE X-RAY ROOM AND X-RAYS MAKE INVISIBLE THINGS VISIBLE, WHETHER IT'S INSIDE OUR BODIES OR IN A JET TURBINE PLAYED.

BLADE.

BE CAN SEE THINGS YOU CAN'T NORMALLY SEE.

WE SWITCH FROM STATIC PICTURES TO MOVIES AND IT'S A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH.

>> Ted: SO A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT?

>> A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT AND JUST THE BEGINNING.

SO THE FUNDS FOR BEGINNING AND COMMISSIONING IT AND THAT MEANS MAKING THE FIRST TEST EXPERIMENTS.

AND ALSO FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO COME AND MAKE EXPERIMENTS AT OUR IMPLEMENTATION AND WE PLAN TO BUILD MORE OF THE INSTRUMENTS.

SO THE CANCER INSTITUTE AND MAY WANT TO HAVE THIS AND COUNTRIES WHICH WANT TO HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THESE OR MAYBE IN TEN YEARS, 15 YEARS, IT MIGHT BE OR MAYBE EVEN ALL OVER THE WORLD, CUSTOM MADE FOR THE APPLICATIONS AND FOR BIOLOGY, MEDICINE TO CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION ALL OVER THE WORLD.

>> Ted: LAST QUESTION, TEN TO 15 YEARS AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT WHEN CAN WE SEE A PRACTICAL APPLICATION HERE?

>> WELL, WE BUILT THE PROTOTYPE AND THAT'S OPERATING AND BY THE END OF THIS YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION.

TED >> Ted: WHEN WILL THAT BE?

>> I'LL TURN THAT OVER TO PETRA?

>> EXPERIMENTS ON THE MEDICAL SIDE.

FOR EXAMPLE, LOOKING AT ENZYMES AND COVID AND THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST AND THE SECOND SAMPLE IS ONE WHERE MY HEART IS BEATING FOR AND HOW PLANTS CONVERT LIGHT INTO OXYGEN AND VISIBLE LIGHT AND THEN WE CAN BUILD LATER SYSTEMS AS EFFICIENT AS NATURE AND AS STABLE AS MAN-MADE.

>> Ted: CONGRATULATIONS ON THE AWARD AND THE RESEARCH AND CONTINUED SUCCESS AND WE'LL HAVE YOU BACK ON BECAUSE THERE'S A WAYS TO GO AND CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> Ted: THAT'S IT FOR NOW AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AND YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING!
