Using a sample of a billion pp collisions, ALICE has measured the decay of Ω (2012) baryons to Ξ–K0S pairs. After traveling a ...

When two lead nuclei race through the LHC at nearly the speed of light, they sometimes just miss each other. Instead of ...

Instead of using the Large Hadron Collider to smash atoms together, researchers briefly turned lead into gold by facilitating ...

Of course, nothing came of these investigations (other than the foundations of modern chemistry), but it turns out all Boyle, ...

Scientists at CERN use near-miss photon–nucleus collisions to create fleeting gold atoms, shedding light on rare nuclear ...

The dream of every medieval alchemist – turning lead into gold – has finally come true thanks to some impractical physics at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.

For centuries, the transformation of lead into gold was the ultimate goal for alchemists, a dream fueled by the similar ...

CERN's ALICE experiment turned lead into gold—briefly—reviving alchemists' old dreams with modern nuclear physics.

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and ...

enabling the study of electromagnetic ‘nuclear transmutation’ processes,” ALICE spokesperson Marco Van Leeuwen said in a press statement. According to CERN, the subsequent Run 3 produced ...

The ALICE experiment team at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has announced that they have successfully measured the conversion of lead to ...

Modern-day science accidentally achieved what medieval alchemists dreamed of doing by turning lead into the tiniest bit of ...
