According to Einstein, it can. His equation e = mc2 describes the relationship between matter and energy. If I'm not mistaken, he theorized that if an object were to approach the speed of light, the energy it produced would be converted into matter. Many people today are also working on answering this very question. Apparently scientists at Imperial College London have figured out how to turn energy directly into matter. If you're interested, you can read more about this discovery.

∙ 8y agoTwo fast particles can crash into one another, and lots of particles can arise from the kinetic energy.Note that you can't really convert mass to energy, as is often claimed - or energy to mass. Rather, both mass and energy are conserved.

∙ 8y agoYes, in theory, just as you can change mass into energy it works the other way too but a lot more difficult and has not been done yet

Is matter trapped energy?
It might be considered that way, because of the formula E=mc2. That doesn't mean you can freely convert matter to energy and vice versa, but in some cases this is possible.
What process creates energy?
Technically, no process "creates" energy. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed for that matter. The total amount of energy in the Universe remains constant. It is possible to convert one type of energy to another, though.
How do you convert thermal energy into radiant energy?
i think you can not convert thermal energy into radiant energy
What technological device does not convert energy forms?
When you say 'Device', then this indicate some item or tool that has the ability to perform a job. When this device perform a job, no matter how small, there is a conversion of energy involved. In other words. Absolutely all devices convert energy of some sort. Even a tiny pebble falling 1 inch does convert some energy, however small.
How can you convert electrical energy to mechanical sound and heat energy?
We can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in mixer and grinder. We can convert electrical energy into sound energy in various sound systems. We can convert electrical energy into heat energy in electric water or room heater.
What does fungi convert dead and decaying matter into?
It converts dead and decaying matter to glucose , energy for the saprophyte or fungi
Nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission convert?
Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.
Is matter trapped energy?
It might be considered that way, because of the formula E=mc2. That doesn't mean you can freely convert matter to energy and vice versa, but in some cases this is possible.
When you recycle what type of energy is it?
Energy is stored in all matter- potential in nature. On conversion matter will change it's state or convert to another form of matter. In the process energy is absorbed by it or released from it. Fire wood, when it burns, absorbs oxygen from atmosphere and carbon combines with oxygen releasing heat energy in the process.
E equals mc2 significance of equal?
This formula shows that matter is just a form of energy; one can convert mass into energy and vice versa.
What did Fred Hoyle have to do with e equals mc2?
His work on stellar nucleosynthesis. That explains how starts convert matter into energy.
Can energy ever be made?
No. You can convert one type of energy to another (with certain limitations - for more information, read about the "Second Law of Thermodynamics"); but you can't create energy out of nothing - or destroy energy for that matter.
What process creates energy?
Technically, no process "creates" energy. Energy cannot be created, or destroyed for that matter. The total amount of energy in the Universe remains constant. It is possible to convert one type of energy to another, though.
How do you convert windnergy into mechanical energy?
how do we convert wind energy into mechanical energy
What can you convert into energy?
You can convert one type of energy into another type of energy.
How does a wheel and axle change distance?
They don't. Distance is the same no matter what. What changes is the ability to convert energy to horizontal acceleration.
How do you convert solar energy to electrical energy?
How do solar farms convert energy into electrical energy?
