感想: 原來全球最闊的電視屏幕是在香港的沙田馬場! 好久沒去過那邊了說. 上次回HK好像還沒破世界紀錄呢. 日本三菱也滿厲害的嘛~ 造出這麼大的電視屏幕. 屏幕是LED的, 所以那顆燈壞了只需要還那個就好. 不用像LCD monitor 一樣壞一格就得整個換掉 (除非你不介意那一格顏色變了). 今年有機會的話一定要去看看這LED屏幕

Most Lead Turned into Gold
In 1980, the reknowned American scientist Glenn Seaborg (1912–1999) transmuted several thousand atoms of lead into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique, using nuclear physics, was able to remove protons and neutrons from the lead atoms.
Seaborg’s technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of [...]
