Scientist’s has found a way to turn lead into gold just for a seconds after years of trial by the alchemist. More research ...

So alchemists had the right idea – they just lacked a 27 km particle accelerator The dream of every medieval alchemist – ...

Large Hadron Collider have achieved the ancient dream of turning lead into gold through high-speed nuclear collisions — but the gold vanishes in less than a microsecond.

This shift may not happen until the mid-2020s, but Pouttu believes latency will still be too high for industrial applications: “It will be millisecond when microsecond is needed.” It’s easy ...
