How are elements formed from hydrogen?

Heavier elements are formed from hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, through a process called nuclear fusion.

It is the process within stars, stellar nucleosynthesis, that allows heavier elements to be created up through iron. Elements heavier than iron are formed in supernova events.
