minus-square@r_13linkEnglish1•11 months agoWe can extract the energy but not turn it into mass directly. Light energy transfers into matter by several absorption processes: photoelectric effect and inelastic scattering being the most common mechanisms. This happens by interaction with electrons, which can be promoted into higher bound or unbound energy states by photons.
