Nieve de Garrafa (Mexican Fruit Ice Cream) Traditional Nieve de Garrafa – Refreshing Mexican Fruit Ice Delight Ingredients: 3 cups fresh fruit (e.g., mango, strawberry, pineapple, or guava), chopped 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup water Juice of 1 lime Pinch of salt Crushed ice and rock salt (for the freezing container method) Directions: In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, sugar, lime juice, water, and salt. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed. Pour the fruit purée into a metal or stainless steel cylinder (garrafa) or any tall, narrow metal container. Place the cylinder in a larger container filled with crushed ice and rock salt, surrounding the sides completely. Rotate and stir the fruit mixture continuously using a long wooden paddle or spoon. This step mimics the traditional hand-churning technique used by street vendors. Continue churning for about 30–45 minutes until the mixture thickens and takes on a sorbet-like consistency. Serve immediately for a soft, slushy texture or freeze for an additional 2–3 hours for a firmer scoop.

It’s not fantasy anymore — physicists at CERN have done what ancient alchemists could only dream of. Using the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, scientists smashed lead atoms together at near light-speed, stripping away protons and creating actual gold atoms — if only for a fraction of a second. How? By removing three protons from lead (atomic number 82), they momentarily created gold (atomic number 79) through nuclear transmutation — the real science behind turning one element into another. This isn’t about riches. The gold produced was microscopic — just picograms — but the achievement is a milestone in understanding the origins of matter and the behavior of atomic nuclei under extreme energy. From myth to measurable reality, we’ve finally cracked the code of alchemy — not with magic, but with the power of particle physics. #CERN #LHC #ALICEexperiment #ParticlePhysics #AlchemyRealized
