'New elements' are considered to be elements that have not been 'discovered' or given an official name and abbreviation. The only possibility of new elements forming is artificially, by bombarding heavy radioactive atoms with alpha particles, protons and sometimes neutrons. However, any 'new element' would have an extremely short half life, because we have already done this process during the 20th century, which is how we discovered the elements past Uranium (element 92).

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. There are machines or structures in the universe that do this, and we call them stars. 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.
