It's called transmutation. There are two types of transmutation. Natural transmutation is when an element naturally changes into another element. Artificial transmutation is when an element is forced to change into another element, usually done in a laboratory setting.

∙ 14y agoTo change an element to another element, you need to change the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. Nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and some types of radioactive decay can accomplish this.
Before scientists understood the structure of atoms, alchemy was the 'science' of trying to convert one element into another.
