Marathon Fusion claims it can turn mercury into gold while creating clean energy
A startup energy company, called Marathon Fusion, may soon be living out the dream of alchemists from the Middle Ages. In a recently released paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the company outlines a method to turn an isotope of mercury, 198Hg, into 197Au, the most stable form of gold.

IN A NUTSHELL 🧪 The ancient quest for the Philosopher’s Stone may be realized through modern science with Marathon Fusion’s tokamak reactor technology. ⚙️ By converting mercury-198 into gold-197, the reactor achieves transmutation as a byproduct of energy production. 💰 The economic potential is significant, with the reactor capable of producing five tonnes of gold [...] The post “They’re Literally Making Gold from Thin Air”: Critics Slam Fusio…
Hot neutrons from nuclear fusion could turn mercury into tons of gold - theoretically anyway. Practically, there are still some difficulties with the plan.
What sounds like science fiction may soon become a reality: fusion reactors could produce gold in the future and thus weaken the value of the precious metal.Is that the beginning of the end for the precious metal?It is a thousand-year-old dream: to produce gold simply from other elements, instead of mining it in life-threatening conditions, to cut down forests, poison rivers with mercury and spoil the landscape with debris. Already in ancient Eg…
