swansont Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Bombard it with nuclei in a fusion reaction. It won't happen with chemical processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'd like to add that even with nuclear fusion it's quite impractical in terms of energy if you want to make something heavy. Even iron fusion is endothermic (uses more energy than it releases) and gold is a lot heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBruce Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 As said you need a very impractical fusion reaction. But what you are talking about is alchemy not chemistry. People have tried for hundreds of years and as far as I know no one has ever succeeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
