Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have successfully transformed lead into gold atoms, achieving an ancient alchemist dream through modern physics.The Large Hadron Collider is a giant particle accelerator that smashes atoms together at super-high speeds. Scientists there have found a way to knock three tiny particles called protons out of lead atoms, turning them into gold atoms.Instead of crashing lead atoms head-on, the team behind this discovery looked at what happens when the atoms just barely miss each other.
