It does work, but nobody really cares because of all the radiation involved. Here's a paper, but given the date I have no idea if it was written by humans or by AI: https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.13461

The actual paper on arxiv.org (https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.13461) says that they _predict_ the ability to create gold from mercury using _simulations_.

The paper on arxiv[1] has a bit more actual information about how the gold would be produced. [1] https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.13461
