Alchemists have long sought to turn lead into gold. The theory for doing so today stands that it is possible to bombard lead, silver, copper, Mercury, or platinium atoms in an atomic accelorator to create stable gold isotopes.
However, this method is prohibitively expensive due to the energy input requirements or using materials such as platnium which are more valuable than gold.

Why some fibers are called synthetic?
Man-made Cotton for example is from a plant Synthetic are made in a factory
How can you tell if an element is man-made or synthetic?
Yes, synthetic means man-made or artificial.
Are the atoms in a piece of gold the same as each other or are they different?
Yes, while Gold (Au) does have a number of isotopes (195Au, 196Au, 198Au and 199Au), these are all synthetic (made by man) and unstable. The only stable isotope of Gold is 197Au, and his means that all the atoms in a piece of natural gold are indeed 100% the same as each other .
Is Einsteinium found in nature or man-made?
It is synthetic; also known as "man-made".
Explain why some fibers are called synthetic?
Synthetic fibers are not natural. They are purely man made and can not be found in nature. Many synthetic materials are made by a process of synthesis. Fibers which aren't synthetic can be found in nature.
What is the difference between synthetic and man made?
Big difference, Synthetic, generally refers to the thing itself being Synthetic, rather then Natural, whereas Man Made, refers to the process. Just because something is Man Made, does not by necessity make it Synthetic, look at all the man made mistakes in life, you wouldn't call them Synthetic Mistakes, would ya? or what about Man Made automobiles, you would call them Synthetic Transportation Vehicles would you? I mean,, cup cakes are man made, but are they Synthetic?
Is synthetic man made or natural?
Synthetic is man made.
Can oil be created by man?
Man can create 'synthetic' oil, we can also grow crops to make 'vegetable' oil.
Are nano-particles man made or synthetic?
it is synthetic (man made and sythetic are the same thing "synthetic" is just a fancy word for man made)
What stone is the pyramid make of?
The capstone was made from granite sheaved in gold foil.
Is gold naturally occurring or synthetic?
Gold-198 is not naturally occuring.
Is gold a synthetic material?
No, gold is a naturally occurring mineral element.
Is gold-198 natural or synthetic?
Gold-198 is not naturally occuring.
Which fibers are synthetic?
The fibers which are made by man are the synthetic fibers.
Does havoline make synthetic oil?
Yes, they make a full synthetic and a synthetic blend.
Is gold 198 synthetic or naturally occurring?
Gold-198 is not naturally occuring.
Is gold-198 synthetic or naturally occurring?
Gold-198 is not naturally occuring.
