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

Medieval alchemists toiled unsuccessfully to change lead into gold, but physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland had better luck – though for only a microsecond.

The world's largest particle collider produces roughly 89,000 gold nuclei every second, all from smashing lead atoms together ...
