Indian astronomers have performed multi-frequency observations of a repeating fast radio burst designated FRB 20201124A.

China has kicked off of a second phase of construction to enhance the capabilities of what is already the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical ...

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 ...

A powerful flash of radio energy—brief, bright, and totally silent since—has left astronomers grappling with a new cosmic mystery. Dubbed RBFLOAT, this fast radio burst is the most luminous ever ...

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely ...

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 ...

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 ...

A powerful blast of energy detected in March marks the brightest fast radio burst — a mysterious type of outburst from space — observed to date. FRBs, first observed in 2007, are millisecond-long ...

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, ...
