🚨 CERN Scientists Achieve Modern-Day Alchemy Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have done what ancient alchemists could only imagine — briefly turning lead into gold. During high-speed experiments, intense electromagnetic fields stripped three protons from lead nuclei, momentarily transforming them into gold atoms. The gold existed for just a fraction of a second and weighed almost nothing, but the breakthrough is scientifically huge. It deepens our understanding of nuclear forces, extr
