| Apr 14, 2016 at 23:05 | comment | added | Thucydides | As a note, for a "real" transmutator, the raw material should be iron since it is at the cusp of the curve of binding energy. Iron neither releases energy when fissioned or fusioned, meaning the transmutation of elements from a base of iron is going to be safer than using any other element. | |

| Apr 14, 2016 at 10:44 | comment | added | Burki | I think you should limit it to chemical "changes": physical changes would require fission or fusion, neither of which are likely to become safe technologies for household appliances. Noone likes their toaster to eradicate a whole village when it has a minor design flaw... | |
