For centuries human beings have tried to do nature's work by working on a formulae to make gold artificially-if some have progress in their work, others , are still struggling- i wanted to know if -ultimately-we do have such a formulae, by which we can make pure gold?

Why do you think alchemy is no longer being pursued. The only method of making gold from another element is to bombard an element such as lead with radiation. The problem is that it costs so much to do this that the price of gold would have to be much higher to make it profitable, and once people started making gold this way the abundance of gold on the market would drive the price down. Regardless, you would have to use Physics, not Alchemy to do this.

Can We Make Gold Artificially

replacing lead into gold is theoretically plausible, yet you would ought to administration the atoms one proton at a time. Alchemy had a distinct form of atomic idea to favourite technology. They understood lead and gold to be manifestations of the Earth ingredient and that's going to were plausible to regulate one to the different by ability of tangible ability.

We can't. Although we know something about rearranging the protons and neutrons of an element (nuclear fusion and fission) it releases large amounts of energy..and there are some man made elements out othere. IF (Big if...)we were to use the technology we have to work out a method of gold production it would cost much more than the gold was worth.

I'd also add that if we had the ability to make gold, there'd be plenty more important things to do with the knowledge...

You can't... Gold is an elemnt of it's own. it coonot be created from other elemnts.. (that what makes it worthy!)
