Fast radio bursts, these signals from space, may finally reveal their origin. An international team has identified key clues. The study conducted by McGill University, published in Nature, analyzed ...

Long-term observations reveal that at least some fast radio bursts are linked to magnetars orbiting companion stars.

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 ...

New insights are emerging into one of astronomy’s most perplexing signals. An international research team led in part by scientists from the University of Hong Kong has found strong evidence that at ...

A new study has determined the most likely origin of one repeating fast radio burst to be a dense object — potentially a neutron star — with a binary companion. Fast radio bursts are one of the ...

NEW YORK — Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about one ...
