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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers have detected the closest and brightest fast radio burst ever recorded, a dazzling signal from a galaxy just 130 million light-years away. The extraordinary flash, nicknamed RBFLOAT, ...

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, ...

The dazzling “RBFLOAT” radio burst, originating nearby in the Ursa Major constellation, offers the clearest view yet of the environment around these mysterious flashes. CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A fast radio ...

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 ...
