Examples of this sort of nuclear transmutation are when uranium becomes thorium, or radium becomes radon gas, due to alpha decay.

On Earth ( and elsewhere ), trace amounts of various elements continue to be produced from other elements as products of nuclear transmutation processes.
24.
In 1911 he had used natural radioactivity, in the form of alpha particles, in the first man-made nuclear transmutation, converting nitrogen nuclei into oxygen.
25.
Miley's article on nuclear transmutation is available for download in . pdf format on the " Selected Papers " page of the New Energy Times website.
26.
Rutherford went on to use alpha particles to accidentally produce what he later understood as a directed nuclear transmutation of one element to another, in 1917.
27.
Because of this dilution and because 105 Pd has 11 times the neutron absorption cross section, 107 Pd is not amenable to disposal by nuclear transmutation.
28.
The article Nuclear transmutation used to contain a section entitled " Photoneutron process " which outlined how gold could be made from mercury ( OK, not lead ).
29.
In order to quantify the energy released or absorbed in any nuclear transmutation, one must know the nuclear binding energies of the nuclear components involved in the transmutation.
30.
It transpired that, under true nuclear transmutation, it is far easier to turn gold into lead than the reverse reaction, which was the one the alchemists had ardently pursued.
