Giving you a lot of energy but only violating conservation of hadron number | |

| Apr 7, 2018 at 14:12 | comment | added | AlexP | The price differential between iron and just about any other metal is so great that transforming iron in any metal would be extremely advantageous. (Ordinary steel costs some 300 USD/tonne; alumimium is 2000 USD/tonne, lead is 2000 USD/tonne, zinc is 3000 USD/tonne, copper is 6000 USD/tonne, tin is 20,000 USD/tonne.) | |
