Did Russian Scientists make this report?





If Russian Scientists or if any other Scientists made this report, is it true?I heard that Russian Scientists reported that they used ';Neutron Capture'; to turn other metals into gold. True?
It might be true.


If platinum became beta radioactive after capturing a neutron it would change to Gold


Or if Thalium became alpha radioactive after capturing a neutron it would change to Gold.


You have to look up a table of isotopes to see if the above reactions are radioactive as indicated.


There may also be other possibilities.
