The correct way to do this is probably some sort of penetrating vision build, I will ponder it later.
Actually, I think Control with an appropriate Cosmic modifier should be able to do it. I'd call it something like +100% for "can change basic physical properties". That would do things like let you make metal transparent, change the melting temperature of a substance, make something radioactive or not, change a substance's tensile or compressive strength, and so on. I'd say those changes would all be temporary, only preserved as long as you were actively controlling it, unless you added a further +150% to make them permanent. If you wanted to be able to make just a single type of change, it would be +20%, or +50% to make permanent changes.
