CERN creates gold from lead

[Paul Ferguson]

"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."

"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."
