What do you think fusion research is?

a fun fact: for the most efficient mass energy conversion, you need a huge spin black hole (preferably naked). Then you can get about 42% conversion. (there was a minute physics video about it i think)

No where near perfect mass conversion....

Max theoretical mass-energy conversion efficiency is under 1%
