     How to convert energy into mass?

	For large scale production of mass that is a tricky question
I think.  But if you just want to see a little mass being created
you can look at bubble chamber photos and they'll probably show
it.  
	For example, into the vicinity of other atoms, two photons
(energy) can meet and create an electron & positron (massive).
	As to creating mass at the time of the big bang, reading
"The First Three Minutes" by Weinberg.
