fast radio bursts

Researchers have watched a mysterious fast radio burst shoot out energy far more times than they thought was possible.

Mysterious repeating pulses of radio waves may come from a hitherto unknown kind of extraordinarily powerful cosmic magnet, and not pairs of stars as previously suggested, a new study finds.

New Hubble Space Telescope observations have given more credence to a theory explaining mysterious radio energy bursts.

Scientists have uncovered more details about perhaps the most famous repeating fast radio burst, a mysterious phenomenon astronomers cannot yet explain.

Ghostly circles of radio emission, hanging out in space like cosmic smoke-rings, can't be explained by current theories. And astronomers are excited to figure them out.

Astronomers have detected the first fast radio burst from a magnetar in our own Milky Way galaxy.

Mysterious repeating bursts of radio waves that fire in random patterns might come from neutron stars blasting asteroids with magnetic winds that travel at nearly the speed of light.

Scientists traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to a known star inside the Milky Way for the first time.

Mysterious pulses of radio waves from deep space can fire in regular patterns, a discovery that might help shed light on the cause of these puzzling outbursts, a new study finds.

Scientists just found the universe's missing baryon matter hiding in the cosmos.
