Good News Community<p>CERN scientists transformed lead into gold through high-energy particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, a feat akin to ancient alchemy. Lead nuclei collide at near light speed, creating gold atoms briefly before decay. Though impractical due to cost, this demonstrates modern physics’s ability to make the impossible possible.</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/goodnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>goodnews</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ScienceBreakthrough" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceBreakthrough</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ModernAlchemy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ModernAlchemy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/CERN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CERN</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ParticlePhysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ParticlePhysics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoodNews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ScientificDiscovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScientificDiscovery</span></a><br><a href="https://thedebrief.org/transmuting-lead-into-gold-cerns-large-hadron-collider-achieves-alchemists-dreams-for-a-fraction-of-a-second/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thedebrief.org/transmuting-lea</span><span class="invisible">d-into-gold-cerns-large-hadron-collider-achieves-alchemists-dreams-for-a-fraction-of-a-second/</span></a></p>
