Transmutation

Transmutation is the conversion of one object into another. It is most commonly used in reference to extremely basic objects, for example turning lead to gold or gold to pure energy, but can be used to refer to more complex objects as well (see: transmogrification).

Transmutation of chemical elements occurs through nuclear reactions[?].
