Are any alchemist still alive

Answer 1

No. Alchemy was abandoned because it didn't work. Some of the things that did work became chemistry. No one successfully turned lead into gold. Nor did anyone successfully create the philosopher's stone. Alchemy was basically chemistry with a lot of magic thrown into it. The alchemists were sorcerer want to be's. They attempted to conjure spirits, and use spells on chemicals that they believed contained magical properties, all in a vain attempt to convert base metals into something of greater value. Even Isaac Newton, probably the greatest scientific mind of the last 500 years, accomplished nothing in alchemy, even though he experimented with it for decades.

Answer 2

There are still individuals who practice alchemy in various forms today, incorporating it into their spiritual or philosophical beliefs. However, traditional alchemy focusing on the transmutation of base metals into noble metals is not actively practiced or scientifically valid.
