Alchemists were right all along

It IS possible to turn other elements into gold - in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators.

I don't think so.. If it was possible, probably we did not have heard about it

Yes, I remember when we were told that in high school chemistry. Remember that this is a school night so don't be up too late okay?

“Rutherford, this is transmutation!”
“For Mike’s sake, Soddy, don’t call it transmutation. They’ll have our heads off as alchemists.”

This is how New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford and his colleague Englishman Frederick Soddy reacted to the surprising result of a series of careful experiments conducted in 1901 at McGill University in Montreal. (Canada)

particle accelerators usually build heavily charged ions of gold
"heavily charged" as in 195-197Au atoms (no idea if other isotopes are used desu) with no electrons.
Transmutation in this sense would give you elemental gold, possibly with most of its electrons in place

whoa...

I read it would take 7 trillion $usd in electricity to make like a gram of gold from transmutation
