What is Transmutation?
'''Transmutation''' is a basic process in [[alchemy]]. The most important form of transmutation is the change of [[lead]] into [[gold]]. Alchemists tried and failed to change ''base metals'' (metals of very little value) into a [[precious metal|metal of high value]] like [[gold]]. However, more recent work by [[James Chadwick]] and [[Irène Joliot-Curie]] in [[nuclear physics]] has established that [[radioactivity]] does lead to elemental changes. {{physics-stub}} [[category:Physics]] [[category:Occult]] [[Category:Chemical processes]]
