No. The science of chemistry is limited to working with existing elements "as is". So by definition there is no CHEMICAL process that can create a new element from other elements.
You can create new elements by irradiation in a nuclear reactor, by creating a nuclear explosion, bombardment in a linear acceleator, etc., but these methods are not considered chemistry.

No. You can form new compounds but never a new element. There are only so many elements on earth and they are all listed on the periodic table.
