I have to imagine that there is the spirit of a long-dead alchemist doing an end-zone victory dance somewhere beyond the cosmos right now. "I FUCKING TOLD YOU GUYS THAT YOU COULD DO THAT!"
"Today in Science: Physicists turn lead into gold, just for an instant"
Tens of thousands of gold atoms are created from lead atoms every second at the LHC.
It was already known that lead atoms are converted into gold particles at the Large Hadron Collider.
For the first time it has been possible to count how many.
LHC breaks the record for heaviest antimatter nucleus ever seen.
Researchers have found evidence of an exotic form of antimatter in the aftermath of colliding extremely fast lead ions.
Benjamin Dönigus at Goethe University Frankfurt and colleagues from the Large Hadron Collider at the Geneva CERN particle physics laboratory have created an unprecedentedly heavy antimatter nucleus: antihyperhelium-4.

Today, September 10, in 2008, when the Large Hadron Collider particle accelerator is turned on, our universe is split into multiple parallel universes. Many people, including grieving game designer Brendan, remember details of things that have changed (The Mandela Effect, 2019)

#TinyGarak came with me to #CERN. Here we are at the #LargeHadronCollider. This is easily the most interesting thing I have ever done. #StarTrekDS9
Missed my #SummerSchool talk on the #LargeHadronCollider and the #HiggsBoson?
It’s not quite the same but here’s the episode of the podcast I was recently on, in which we spoke about #CERN, #ParticlePhysics, fundamental research, the costs associated with it, why and how do we do this sort of research, and much more!
Feedback welcome; this was a new experience for me.
