Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most puzzling astronomical phenomena. These brief yet intense bursts of radio waves, lasting just milliseconds, originate from deep space. Scientists first ...

China’s FAST telescope is the largest and most sensitive radio dish ever built, designed to detect faint signals from pulsars, hydrogen clouds, and fast radio bursts across the universe. This video ...

The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space like sand on a beach. Astronomers and engineers at CSIRO, Australia's ...

Recent discoveries by astronomers have revealed the presence of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) emanating from a region near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole. These enigmatic signals have ...

A team of astronomers just discovered FRB 20240304B, a fast radio burst (FRB) from 11 billion years ago. It is the farthest FRB we now know, dating just about 3 billion years after the universe began.

Around midday on June 13 last year, my colleagues and I were scanning the skies when we thought we had discovered a strange and exciting new object in space. Using a huge radio telescope, we spotted a ...

For almost two decades, astronomers have detected extremely powerful, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) from beyond our galaxy—and had no clue where they came ...

A staccato blast of electromagnetic energy has been tracked to an old, dead galaxy for the first time. The discovery supports the idea that there are more ways to produce such flares, called fast ...

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, ...
