Primordial nucleosynthesis provides a probe of the Universe during its early evolution. Given the progress exploring the constituents, structure, and recent evolution of the Universe, it is timely to review the status of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and to confront its predictions, along with the constraints which emerge from them, with those derived from independent observations of the Universe at much later epochs in its evolution. Following an overview of the key physics controlling element synthesis in the early Universe, the predictions of BBN in the standard models of cosmology and particle physics are presented, along with those from some non-standard models. The observational data used to infer the primordial abundances are described, with an emphasis on the distinction between precision and accuracy. The observationally inferred relic abundances are compared with the predicted abundances, testing the internal consistency of BBN and enabling a comparison of the BBN-inferred constraints with those derived from the Cosmic Background Radiation and Large Scale Structure data. Emerging from these comparisons is confirmation of a successful standard model along with constraints on (or hints of) physics beyond the standard models of particle physics and of cosmology.

Naturally quality-safe GeV axion with charm coupling
Coupling the GeV-scale QCD axion to charm instead of light quarks avoids the isospin problem and yields BR(B→Kσ) ~ 2×10^-5 consistent with Belle II, at the price of a small scalar quartic requiring protection.

Probing Neutrinophilic Long-Range Forces at DUNE
DUNE's long baseline can exclude previously unexplored regions of neutrinophilic long-range force parameter space and map them onto cosmologically relevant neutrino self-interaction strengths.

Beyond thermal approximations: Precise cosmological bounds on Axion-Like Particles
Solving the momentum-dependent Boltzmann equation and propagating the exact non-thermal ALP spectrum into CMB analyses yields 95% limits f_a>1.63e6 GeV (e), 9.41e6 GeV (mu), 8.06e4 GeV (tau), and g_a_gamma<1.98e-8 GeV^-1.

Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis and WIMP Dark Matter Freeze-Out as Probes of Yukawa Cosmology
Using BBN and WIMP relic density, the authors constrain the Yukawa gravity coupling α to about -0.017 to 0.018, with the lithium discrepancy still unexplained.

What could an emerging Big Bang Nucleosynthesis discrepancy be hinting at?
A transient expansion-rate boost during deuterium burning can reconcile the measured deuterium abundance with the high baryon density preferred by early dark energy models, without changing helium-4.

Constraints on R\'{e}nyi Entropy through Primordial Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis and Baryogenesis
Rényi entropy cosmology constrained by BBN: helium and deuterium allow overlapping λ ranges near 10^-85, lithium requires disjoint values, so the constant-λ model cannot solve the lithium problem.

MeV-scale reheating temperature and thermalization of oscillating neutrinos by radiative and hadronic decays of massive particles
Including neutrino oscillations and self-interactions in BBN calculations sets the reheating temperature above about 1.8 MeV for radiative decays and 4 to 5 MeV for hadronic decays of long-lived massive particles.

Intertwined Constraints in Extended Cosmologies: Dark Energy, Curvature, Neutrinos, and Inflation
Dynamical dark energy remains preferred across extended models while curvature, neutrino mass and inflation parameters show strong model dependence, with no resolution of the H0 tension.

Einstein or Jordan: seeking answers from the reheating constraints
Differences in inflationary energy scales between Einstein and Jordan frames produce distinct reheating e-folding numbers and temperatures, leading to contrasting thermal histories with potential observational signatures.
