Astrophysicists from The University of Hong Kong have unveiled a new technique to detect the universe's first stars, known as Population III stars. These stars, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, differ significantly from modern stars like our Sun and those forming today. Despite their massive size and high temperature, Population III stars were ephemeral and critical in the synthesis of
