In May 2025, a fascinating revelation emerged from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC): scientists have indeed transformed lead into gold. This achievement, while technically remarkable, comes with important caveats that separate modern particle physics from ancient alchemical dreams. The process involves high-energy collisions between lead nuclei, where electromagnetic forces cause lead atoms to shed three … Lire plus
