    It is possible. When high energy gamma rays, photons collide with the atoms or nuclei they produce electron positron pair. Both have rest mass. Here energy is converted into mass.

    Photons do NOT have mass. They are massless particles that more at the speed of light. Photons do have energy and momentum. Photons can not be at rest.
