A state of matter last seen just after the Big Bang may exist inside neutron stars — and scientists think they can prove it

As binary neutron stars spiral around each other to merge, their gravitational tidal forces distort each other's shape and structure, potentially revealing clues as to what lies within them.

Why lithium is not the answer to oil

Lithium's journey from the Big Bang to powering electric vehicles highlights unsustainable mining practices. The article argues for a Rights of Nature approach over critical minerals, criticizing oversized EVs and market-driven resource nationalism. True sustainability requires shifting from infinite growth logic to valuing nature's complexity, not just changing fuels.
