So you're telling me that an atom smasher smashes atoms? How is this a new thing?
"During lead-lead collision cycles, the LHC produces approximately 89,000 gold nuclei per second. Throughout the second operational campaign (2015-2018), researchers estimate about 86 billion gold nuclei were created in total. However, these golden particles exist only momentarily before hitting detector walls or disintegrating through other interactions."
