Both share the same word etymology, but there are some major differences between the two sciences, and both emphasize upon these differences. However, alchemy is a science that is seldom practiced in the modern era.

Alchemy is still practiced by many today mostly in the form of philosophy, spiritualism, or mysticism under the category of hermeticism.
