The Lunar Surface Electromagnetics Explorer 'LuSEE Night' is a low frequency radio astronomy experiment that will be delivered to the farside of the Moon by the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program in late 2025 or early 2026. The payload system is being developed jointly by NASA and the US Department of Energy (DOE) and consists of a 4 channel, 50 MHz Nyquist baseband receiver system and 2 orthogonal $\sim$6m tip-to-tip electric dipole antennas. LuSEE Night will enjoy standalone operations through the lunar night, without the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of an operating lander system and antipodal to our noisy home planet.

A Designer's Guide to Lunar Far-Side Interferometer Array: Power Spectrum Measurement and Cosmological Constraints from the Dark Ages
A lunar array needs at least ~30,000 Fourier modes and distributed stations to reach σ(α_s)=0.034 on inflation, competitive with Planck, though thermal noise limits high-redshift small-scale access.

Dark ages bounds on non-accreting massive compact halo objects
Upper bounds on the dark matter fraction in MACHOs of 10^3 to 10^7 solar masses are derived from limits on distortions to the global 21-cm signal at z~17, z~89, and z>300.

How neutrinos could help solving cosmological anomalies and tensions
Neutrino invisible decays and a boomerang mechanism transferring particles between visible and dark sectors could resolve cosmological anomalies while predicting an observable effective magnetic moment.
