Marathon Fusion claims to have converted mercury into stable gold using nuclear fusion technology, surpassing CERN's previous production rate. The San Francisco-based startup announced this achievement on October 21, stating that their method involves directing fusion-generated neutrons at mercury, resulting in nuclear transformations. However, the amount of gold produced and the experiment's costs remain undisclosed, and independent validation is lacking. The company aims to develop systems for future nuclear fusion power plants. While the transformation of elements into gold is not unprecedented, Marathon Fusion's claims could impact the gold market if proven commercially viable. They are currently constructing an experimental reactor to enhance power density.
