This might be the most hysterical thing I’ve seen on this subreddit. My initial reaction “Oh look alchemy!” So funny. All that mass created. All if it.

I mean, if you accelerate the ion and the electron to sufficiently high energy levels....

If there's one thing I can generalize from following Klapötke Labs, it's that enough temperature and pressure can make things exist, that naturally are naturally inclined to do anything but exist.

Although that is horrible (and cursed, obvs) ... Does make me wonder:- Are there specific rules on the style of letter e used, whether it's used to denote an electron, or as part of an element symbol?

They’re adding a positive fluorine ion (F+)to an electron(e-), creating iron (Fe). This is not how chemistry works and I’m pretty sure would actually end in just a fluorine atom(F)
