So if E=mc^2, this ought to work

 

How to make matter out of pure energy;  it turns out it's pretty simple to do.


Collisions of Light Produce Matter/Antimatter from Pure Energy



"The primary finding is that pairs of electrons and positrons—particles of matter and antimatter—can be created directly by colliding very energetic photons, which are quantum “packets” of light. This conversion of energetic light into matter is a direct consequence of Einstein’s famous E=mc2 equation, which states that energy and matter (or mass) are interchangeable. Nuclear reactions in the sun and at nuclear power plants regularly convert matter into energy. Now scientists have converted light energy directly into matter in a single step."

So, all it takes is enough energy.  Just accelerate gold ions to 99.995% of the speed of light and aim them at each other.

Simple!
