We can make gold in the lab.
It’s radioactive gold but still gold.
Edit, actually i think in the 1980s Seaborg might have created stable gold out of bismuth, but just might have. The articles aren’t mentioning which isotope was created so I don’t know. Mercury to gold is radioactive isotopes, which is the one I’d known about.
- Loughla 3y agoTangentially related item, since we're just getting weird now. Related to gold and (SPOILER ALERT) Mercury. Listen to the podcast Shit Town. It's one of the best pieces of media ever created.
- seattle_spring 3y agoAgreed. Probably easier to find under the name “S-Town” though.
