The CosmoQuest Satellite Will Listen to the Early Universe From the Far Side of the Moon

A tiny UK-developed satellite, roughly the size of a small carry-on suitcase, could help answer one of the biggest questions in cosmology: what happened in the roughly 150 million years of cosmic dark ages, before the universe’s first stars appeared?

Can recycling solve the world's trash problem?

Reduce, reuse, recycle. It's the mantra heard for decades, but does it work? There's a lingering cynicism that recycling is a scam, that it doesn't really help, and it's more about making us feel good…

Comparative fits to identified-hadron spectra in relativistic p+p, p+Pb, Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions including error covariances

Scientific Reports, Published online: 22 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-67596-6 Comparative fits to identified-hadron spectra in relativistic p+p, p+Pb, Pb+Pb and Au+Au collisions including error…

  • Blast-wave description provides stable representation of low-pT spectra across collisions
  • pPb and pp collisions show greater model dependence and less stable fits
  • Findings emphasize strong freeze-out interpretation in heavy-ion sector
