Astronomers closer to unlocking origin of mysterious fast radio bursts: New study by international team of scientists identifies polarization as key trait that may reveal the origin of the powerful millisecond-long cosmic radio explosions
Nearly 15 years after the discovery of fast radio bursts (FRBs), the origin of the millisecond-long, deep-space cosmic explosions remains a mystery. That may soon change, thanks to the work of an international team of scientists — including UNLV astrophysicist Bing Zhang — which tracked hundreds of the bursts from five different sources and found […]
