CERN creates gold from lead - Paul Ferguson - 05-10-2025

"In 2025, CERN scientists at the ALICE experiment announced that in the previous decade, they had used the Large Hadron Collider to induce photon emissions within deliberate near-miss collisions of lead-208 nuclei, turning them into gold-203 nuclei. A total of roughly 270 billion gold nuclei were created over three experiment packages, a miniscule amount."

And here:

"Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have successfully observed the transformation of lead into gold—not through chemistry, but by harnessing the immense forces of particle physics."
