'''Nuclear Transmutation''' occurs when the [[Electron Configuration]] of an atom ([[Element]] or [[Isotope]]) changes as the result of [[Nuclear Reaction|Nuclear Reactions]].

[[Transmutation]] (read control over) of [[Physical Creation]], and in particular transmutation of metal into gold ([[Chrysopoeia]]), was the stated goal of [[Alchemy]]. Initial efforts to transmute elements where juvenile, later successful attempts not much less so. A clumsy transmutation of bismuth into gold was accomplished in 1980 by Glenn T. Seaborg, but at a cost too high for practical application.<ref>Wikipedia contributors,''Glenn T. Seaborg'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_T._Seaborg [Accessed January 15, 2015].</ref>

Transmutation of elements is an essential process of [[Creation]]. All elements heavier than Boron were transmuted in the crucible of a [[Star]] via a process of [[NucleoSynthesis]].<ref>William Alfred Fowler, Margaret Burbidge, Geoffrey Burbidge, and Fred Hoyle, 'Synthesis of the Elements in Stars', ''Reviews of Modern Physics'', vol. 29, Issue 4, pp. 547–650</ref>

Transmutation was first accomplished in a modern laboratory in 1919 by Ernest Rutherford who successfully transmuted nitrogen to oxygen.<ref>Wikipedia Contributors, ''Nuclear Transmutation'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_transmutation [[Accessed January 15, 2015]</ref>
