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 ...

The study presents a novel technique to quantify nuclear transmutation accurately, aiming to enhance the stability of radioactive waste and improve nuclear waste treatment facilities. Inspired by ...

Ancient Greeks imagined that everything in the natural world came from their goddess Physis; her name is the source of the word physics. Present-day nuclear physicists at the Department of Energy’s ...

Nuclear Transmutation Technology Group, develops elemental technology of high-power accelerators and high-power targets, aiming at future applications to nuclear transmutations of long-lived fission ...

The world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, has accomplished something that once belonged only to medieval alchemists’ fantasies — turning lead into ...
