Sure. All you need is lots of heat and lots of pressure. I mean LOTS of heat and LOTS of pressure, like that found when a star goes nova or is ripped apart by a black hole. I'm working on solving this dilemma in my garage.
I figure that if a smarter guy like Newton couldn't do it, my time would be better devoted to other stuff (like teaching my dog to climb out of the water onto her own "trailer" kayak).
