US Startup Claims It Turned Mercury Into Gold
Original: US Startup Claims It Turned Mercury Into Gold, Says It Beat CERN's 2025 Record 10-Fold
A US startup says it has converted mercury into gold, claiming its yield is ten times greater than the record announced by CERN in 2025, when the European physics lab reported producing gold atoms by bombarding mercury. The claim, reported by NDTV, has drawn attention given alchemy's long history as an impossible dream and CERN's own finding that such production is costly and microscopic in scale.
Why now: The claim of turning a base metal into gold, and outdoing CERN, is an extraordinary scientific assertion that naturally sparks skepticism and fascination.
