PRINCETON, N.J., Feb. 28 -- Princeton University issued the following news release:
Since the Middle Ages, alchemists have sought to transmute elements, the most famous example being the long quest to turn lead into gold. Transmutation has been realized in modern times, but on a minute scale using a massive particle accelerator.
Now, theorists at Princeton University have proposed a different approach to this ancient ambition -- just make one material behave like an . . .
