> Can't find the magic incantation that gives me the answer in Google, so 
> I thought I would ask here.  It is at least metal related.  Someone told 
> me years ago, or I read,  that scientists had successfully achieved the 
> goal of alchemists by transmuting lead into gold.   As I recall, they 
> were using a linear accelerator or something along those lines, 
> bombarding lead with electrons.  Not a finacially viable process, but 
> interesting none the less.  Does anyone here know anything about this or 
> was I just being gullible years ago ( probably read it in Omni).
