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.
