nuclear power plants and bombs are effective because they can convert mass into other forms of energy. In fact, if all the mass in a single grain of sand could be converted into energy, it could provide enough electricity to light up a whole city for a year.

yes it is possible to convert energy into mass as einstein's equation shows that energy and mass are the same thing. let me give you an example:
consider a rocket travelling with 90% of c. if u fire a bullet inside it with 90% of c the speed of the bullet will not exceed 99.99% of c because energy converts into mass. thus we can say that at high speeds there is an increase in the mass

See let me tell u difference in mass & energy Consider a stationary piece of brick having mass m . This stationary piece doesnt have any energy. after some time throw it away now the stone will possess energy so mass can be converted to energy but not vice versa .

When you combine two lower weight atoms into one with higher weight (it is called nuclear fusion) there's either energy released or absorbed. If it is absorbed, there is energy transformed into mass. You can realize this if you see that two atoms which are fused have n weight, and the end product has (2*n)+1 then you can conclude that that 1 weight came from energy. And knowing E=m*c^2 you know how much energy was absorbed from the weight 1.

There's no physical law against such a transformation but there's no (as yet) technical way of producing mass from energy at a low cost and in abundance.

i think that it is possible by using the mass ensrgy relationship.
Energy is equal to the product of mass n square of light.

theoretically it is true but practically ,it is nearly impossible(may be in future)as a small mass generates a large amount of energy so equal amount of energy must be provided to generate it again,thus making it impossible as the energy is lost.
I can say it by the equation E=Mc2
(E=energy,M=mass,c=Speed of light)

yes. though it is not practical.
you see in relativistic mechanics(einstein's work) it is dscribed that when a body accelarates to a great extent such that its velocity reaches the speed of light the mass of the body starts increasing.In such circumstances time is also not a constant.
good question

yes, if mass converted into energy why not energy into mass.

yes it is.
in particle accelerators they produce many particles that are created from just the energy of the collision (in addition to the particles created from the two things that collided.)
It takes an awful lot of energy though to create a tiny mass.
