Scientists turn lead into gold for 1st time, but only for a split second
Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider successfully transformed lead into gold atoms, achieving an ancient alchemist dream through modern physics.
First time? Specifically for the LHC maybe.
Yeah, haven't we turned lead into gold before? (A few atoms, not the most stable isotope)
How is this a "first"?
So... Not really?
Counts as long as they found a buyer in that window
And for 1000000 times the cost of normal extraction probably.
To be fair, we could probably do a lot better if we purpose-built a machine to make gold. And Pb->Au isn't even likely the most ideal path. That was only chosen to fulfill the ancient alchemy dreams.
This isn't the first time. They've done this before, and it's well documented. It's also irradiated, if memory serves.
Any sources?
Probably.
So what's this guy holding?
Have you never made small pellets of Ferrero Rocher wrapping ?
They have had greay success at turning gold into less gold.
For a split second. The creator was also immortal
