In the large Hadron Collider at CERN, something medieval alchemists dreamed of doing — turning lead into gold. Although the effect is microscopic and lasts a fraction of a second, scientists from the ALICE experimentation first accurately measured this process. This is not only a symbolic breakthrough, but besides an crucial breakthrough for atomic physics.
