  Our understanding of the observed elemental abundance in the universe,
stemming from nuclear reactions during the big bang or from nucleosynthesis
within stellar environments, requires theoretical analyses based on
multidimensional nucleosynthesis calculations involving hundreds of nuclei
connected via thousands of nuclear processes. Up to recently, full
nucleosynthesis network calculations remained computationally expensive and
prohibitive. A recent publication by a Chinese group led by YuGang Ma [1] has
proved that advanced computational algorithms developed in the last decade for
the purpose of studying complex networks are paving the way to finally
accomplish this ultimate goal of nuclear astrophysics.
