A blast of radio waves from the outskirts of an ancient galaxy challenges theories about what creates such bursts.

Astronomers have traced two mysterious fast radio bursts from space to wildly different places, which suggests the phenomenon ...

Unusual detection bolsters evidence that the mysterious signals can be caused by different astrophysical events.

A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought ...

In just thousandths of a second, an FRB can emit as much energy as the sun does over three days, typically at a radio frequency of about 1,400 hertz. Given their unpredictable nature as well as how ...

The first trial of an Australian-developed technology has detected mysterious objects by sifting through signals from space ...

In this series, we cover provocative questions in astronomy. This week: the mysterious extragalactic signals known as Fast ...

Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts, referred to in astronomy as FRBs, this type of galaxy should not contain the kind of star long thought to produce such bursts.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...
