At the heart of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), an experiment has taken place that is as close to modern-day alchemy as science has ever come. Scientists have managed to turn lead into gold, but ...
The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful ...
For centuries, alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold — not through magic, but by unlocking the hidden potential within metals themselves. While their methods never panned out, those of modern ...
The ALICE Collaboration is a winner of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair for transforming lead into gold for a fraction of a second and exposing the strange physics that goes on inside the Large Hadron ...
