Yes! From an article I read in Omni magazine in the early 1980's, it was reported that scientists using the BEVLAC (Billion Electro-Volt Linear Accellerator and snyChrotron) had, at great energy cost, bombarded an atom of Lead with the appropriate particles to transmute it into another element, and then another, and so on, until the -initially Lead- atom became an isotope of Gold - less than a billionth of a cent's worth!
The report concluded that this was not a cost-effective way to produce Gold. No Sh*t, Sherlock.

Yes, internal alchemy. The transmutation of matter into spirit and our base energies into higher energies through kundalini tantra etc.

Chemistry.
If you want to turn lead into gold, you might want to talk to physicists... but knowing my friends, you'd probably wind up with radioactive gold.
