CERN Turned Lead Into Gold: Scientists Fulfill Alchemists' Dream

Zdjęcie: Ołów zamieniony w złoto! Niewiarygodne odkrycie w CERN


The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has achieved something that medieval alchemists dreamed of: turning lead into gold. Although the effect is microscopic and lasts a fraction of a second, scientists from the ALICE experimentation have precisely measured this process for the first time. This is simply a breakthrough that is not only symbolic, but besides crucial for atomic physics.
