"This new fast radio burst shows us that just when you think you understand an astrophysical phenomenon, the universe turns ...

Vishwangi Shah, an astronomer at McGill University and a study co-author, highlighted the rarity of the event, noting that ...

With their extremely strong magnetic fields, magnetars have long been considered the prime culprit capable of producing the powerful bursts of energy known as fast radio bursts. The recent burst ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief emissions of radio waves, lasting a fraction of a second but with as much energy as the Sun’s over days or even longer. Several FRBs have been linked to a ...

Magnetars are a class of neutron stars with the strongest magnetic fields in the Universe. These incredibly dense objects are ...

Astronomers have pinpointed an FRB outside a dead galaxy for the first time, challenging existing models that link FRBs to ...

Scientists discovered a new fast radio burst named FRB 20240209A. This FRB originated from an old galaxy 11.3 billion years old, challenging previous ...

An upgrade to one of Australia's most capable radio telescopes is allowing astronomers to hunt for fast radio bursts (FRBs) at 10 times their typical efficiency. By sifting through billions of ...

Fast radio bursts, strong pulses of energy detected in radio-wave frequencies, may be a common phenomenon in the cosmos, but their enigmatic origins are something astronomers are only beginning to ...
