Scientists have detected mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the outskirts of an 11 billion-year-old dead galaxy. This discovery challenges the belief that FRBs primarily originate from young, ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief flashes of radio waves that are energetic enough to be observed from Earth — even when they come from far-flung galaxies 1. Although the source of these bursts is ...

Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are an astronomical mystery, with their exact cause and origins still unconfirmed. These intense bursts of radio energy are invisible to the human eye, but show up brightly ...

What is the origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and what can this teach us about the galaxies where they reside? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as a team of ...

Scientists have discovered that mysterious blasts of energy called fast radio bursts (FRBs) may be created when asteroids slam into ultradense extreme dead stars called neutron stars. Such a collision ...

Of all the mysterious astronomical phenomena, none have produced such a flurry of excitement in recent years as fast radio bursts, or FRBs. These oddly bright flashes of light, registering in the ...
