Nuclear Transmutation for Gold Production Lacks Definitive Evidence, Posing Feasibility Questions

Nuclear Transmutation for Gold Production Lacks Definitive Evidence, Posing Feasibility Questions

The concept of producing gold through nuclear transmutation, specifically lead-to-gold conversion, is being discussed, but current sources indicate a lack of definitive evidence regarding its feasibility and practicality. One source mentions nuclear transmutation as a method for gold production but notes insufficient evidence for independent verification. Another source highlights the significant energy requirements and inherent challenges associated with nuclear reactions needed to transmute elements into gold. While CERN has produced minimal quantities of gold nuclei for research purposes via lead-ion collisions, this is not indicative of commercial production. The absence of comprehensive experimental methodologies and publicly established data on the quantity and purity of gold produced through such methods raises questions about its viability beyond theoretical or small-scale research applications.

Uppsala University PhD Project Focuses on Nuclear Fission and Gamma-Ray Emission Research

Uppsala University PhD Project Focuses on Nuclear Fission and Gamma-Ray Emission Research

Uppsala University is offering a PhD position in experimental nuclear physics, specifically focusing on nuclear fission and gamma-ray emission. The doctoral researcher will join the Division of Applied Nuclear Physics within the Department of Physics and Astronomy, located at the Ångström laboratory. This project is part of an international collaboration with the University of Oslo, operating within the Norwegian Nuclear Research Centre. The research aims to investigate how excitation energy and angular momentum are distributed among fission fragments and subsequently released through gamma-ray emission. The student will conduct measurements of prompt fission gamma-ray spectra, multiplicities, total energies, and related observables, working to extract fission-product yields and isomeric yield ratios. These measurements will utilize the uranium-235(d,pf) surrogate reaction to link observed gamma emission with the excitation energy of the fissioning nucleus. A significant component of the work involves the ...

“We want to go broaden the net and get more people involved”: Inside Seminole Boosters’ plan to rebuild and expand FSU’s donor base

Last month, Tomahawk Nation reported that Seminole Boosters’ donor base had shrunk 17% since 2023, even as the organization recorded its most successful monetary fundraising year. In a follow-up interview with Tomahawk Nation, Seminole Boosters CEO Stephen Ponder and Chris Wilson outlined the organization’s plans to bring those donors and more back into the fold. […]
