At CERN, scientists have explored ways to change one element into another, echoing the old dream of alchemy of turning lead into gold. While medieval alchemists pursued it through mystical experiments, modern researchers use particle physics and nuclear reactions to achieve something similar on a microscopic scale.

Scientists Convert Lead Into Gold by Smash at Speed of Light

Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) successfully turned lead into gold as an incidental result of their high-energy physics experiments, not a complete accident. This process, a form of nuclear transmutation, created only a microscopic, fleeting amount of gold and has no practical use for making wealth.

Researchers have found that in the United States, several dark chocolate products are contaminated with lead and cadmium, two highly toxic metals. The study was led by scientists at George Washington University and published Wednesday (Jul 31) in the peer-reviewed Frontiers in Nutrition.

A modelling research has suggested that poisoning caused by lead has a far greater impact on global health than previously thought. The study noted that the metal is potentially contributing to over five million deaths a year and posing a similar threat to air pollution.

The perils of lead exposure are far-reaching, extending from distressing effects on wildlife to tragic human miscarriages. Recognised as a potent neurotoxin, lead has long been associated with mental and developmental impairments, even impacting intelligence levels.

Jharkhand sealed their Ranji Trophy quarterfinal berth here on Wednesday but not before making a mockery of their knock-out fixture against minnows Nagaland. In pursuit of giving their young batters some "practice" for the quarterfinal which is slated about three months from now, the Saurabh Tiwary-led side ended up scoring a match aggregate of 1297 runs.
