Marathon Fusion says it turned mercury into gold at 10x CERN's record, breaking a 40-year Soviet isotope mark

Fusion startup Marathon Fusion claims 'high-rate alchemy': converting mercury into real, stable gold at 10x CERN's record, then enriching isotopes in the world's most powerful plasma centrifuge to beat a 40-year-old Soviet record. Next step: building a fusion reactor in San Francisco targeting record power density. e/acc's Beff Jezos amplified it as 'literal alchemy in the tech tree.'
