Most elements in the universe, except for hydrogen and helium (and a few other weird exceptions), were forged by stars, either through nuclear fusion deep within their cores or during gigantic ...

Amid a coming feast of neutron science — in biology, chemistry, materials science, drug development, archaeology — we might one day learn how our universe started out as cosmic leftovers.

Pictures show how the stars look during a period known as the cosmic noon - the middle ages of the universe when the most stars were born. The Durham team was led by physicists David Lagattuta and ...

A new alpha update to System76’s COSMIC desktop environment has arrived with a clutch of interactive improvements. This is the fifth alpha of the Rust-based DE since August 2024. More alphas will ...
