The world is closer than ever to destruction, according to the Doomsday Clock, an attempt by the Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to warn world leaders and civilians of man-made global ...
Fulfilling the dream of medieval alchemists, physicists have observed the transmutation of lead into gold—through nuclear physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle ...
Physicists at CERN have for the first time measured the transformation of lead nuclei into gold during experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This phenomenon, observed during heavy ion ...
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 ...
One of the ultimate goals of medieval alchemy has been realized, but only for a fraction of a second. Scientists with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, were able to ...
The field of nuclear excitation and isomer manipulation centres on the controlled transfer of energy into and out of atomic nuclei, particularly via the excitation of nuclear isomeric states. Nuclear ...
