Did you know? In 2012, scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) created a quark-gluon plasma with a record-smashing temperature of 5.5 TRILLION degrees Celsius, and this temperature is about 366,000 times hotter than the Sun’s core! ✨The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It is used to study the fundamental particles and forces of nature by colliding beams of protons or lead ions at nearly the speed of light. 💥In 2012, scie

Scientists Announce a Puzzling Discovery At The Large Hadron Collider! | The Secrets Of The Universe

Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have succeeded in transforming lead into gold, fulfilling an age-old alchemical dream using modern physics. The ALICE team achieved this by colliding lead nuclei at nearly the speed of light. The resulting electromagnetic fields caused three protons to be ejected from the lead atoms during close encounters, thus creating gold. Between 2015 and 2018, 86 billion gold atoms—about 29 picograms—were produced in this way, at a rate of 89,000 atoms per second.
