Why yes, there are. Alas not many of us practice in public. I am an alchemist. Taking up alchemy is quite easy actually.

Alchemists could not turn metal into gold because gold is an element.
The alchemists were trying to make gold out of ordinary things.
Alchemists tried to make GOLD from base metals. Scientists know that theoretically Gold can only be made by altering the number of protons in an atom. Alchemists did NOT know about protons etc., .
I don't think "alchemists" is the word you meant to use, because your question does not make sense. Alchemists are people who try to magically turn lead into gold, or otherwise magically turn one substance into another.
