Seaborg - Biography |first= |last=|work=nobelprize.org |year=2011 |accessdate=November 7, 2011}}</ref> He was born in [[Ishpening, Michigan|Ishpening]], [[Michigan]]. He won the 1951 [[Nobel Prize in Chemistry]] with [[Edwin M. McMillan]]. In 1980, he changed several thousand [[atom]]s of [[bismuth]] into [[gold]] at the [[Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory]]. His [[experiment]]al [[Skill|technique]], using [[nuclear physics]], was able to remove [[proton]]s and [[neutron]]s from the bismuth atom. Seaborg's techique would have cost too much [[money]] to make of gold, but his work is the closest to the [[myth]]ical [[Philosopher's Stone]]. Seaborg worked at the [[Manhattan Project]] during [[World War II]]. He studied the chemical properties of [[plutonium]] as a part of the secret war research. He served as Chairman of the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] and was a [[professor]] at the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He was said to be the author/co author of 500 scientific articles and multiple books. He was born in 1912 and died in 1999 from a stroke. He has a wife called '''Helen Griggs''' and his family consisted of his sister, '''Jeanette''' who was 2 years younger than him, and his parents, '''Henry Theodore''' and '''Selma Olivia Erikson Seaborg''' Seaborg was the principal or co-discoverer of ten elements: [[plutonium]], [[americium]], [[curium]], [[berkelium]], [[californium]], [[einsteinium]], [[fermium]], [[mendelevium]], [[nobelium]] and element 106, which was named [[seaborgium]] in his honor while he was still living. He also developed more than 100 atomic [[Isotope|isotopes]]. Early in his career, Seaborg was a pioneer in [[nuclear medicine]] and developed many isotopes of elemen
