It turns out that first repeating FRB wasn’t an anomaly

Researchers discover second repeating fast radio burst

Double Trouble

Researchers discover 13 new fast radio bursts (FRBs), including only the second known repeating example of the cosmic phenomenon.

Fast Radio Bursts Could Be Signs of Alien Life — and We Just Found 13 More of Them

The mysterious signals are slowly becoming less mysterious.

It's tedious for humans to sift through all that data, but really easy for AI.

AI just detected 72 radio bursts that could come from aliens

Off World

An AI just discovered an additionally 72 fast radio bursts emanating from FRB 121102, a source in a galaxy 3 billion light years from Earth.

AI Just Detected 72 Radio Bursts That Could Come From Aliens

AI can sift through hours of radio noise for signals that may indicate intelligent alien life.

Scientists are one step closer to understanding the source of fast radio bursts, thanks to observing a repeating burst three billion lightyears from Earth.

Scientists are tracing the source of one of the most mysterious signals in space

Scientists observed a repeating fast radio burst three billion lightyears from Earth. The discovery gives clues about the source of these mysterious bursts.

"We are zooming in even further on where these fast radio bursts are coming from."

An international team of researchers discovered the signals emanating from FRB 121102 are immensely twisted.

Fast Radio Bursts have a unique property that can help us determine their source

Hard Science

Researchers have discovered the waves from FRB 121102 are highly twisted, suggesting they must be passing through a powerful magnetic field.

Fast Radio Bursts Have a Unique Property That Can Help Us Determine Their Source

We're one step closer to understanding this mysterious space phenomenon.

FRB 150215, the most recent "cosmic whistle" that's been detected, appears to be different from other FRBs that have been discovered in the last decade.

Mysterious Signals From Space Continue to Baffle Scientists

We’ve received 22 in the past decade, and one should have been completely undetectable.

Teams of researchers are working together to try to explain fast radio bursts. The latest development proves that these ultra-luminous signals are indeed coming from space and are not the result of any interference here on Earth.

Confirmed: Mysterious Bursts of Energy Really Are Coming From Outer Space

Now, we need to figure out what’s causing them.

A brilliant burst of energy, brighter than any before, was detected by astronomers and may have led to its site of origin.
The cause of this fascinating phenomenon is unknown, but this latest iteration may lead us to greater understanding of the structure of our universe. 

Mysterious Signals: Scientists Detected the Brightest Burst of Fast Radio Waves to Date

And it could reveal the large-scale structure of the universe.

A team from Pennsylvania State University reports that they caught a transient gamma ray counterpart to a cosmic whistle known as FRB 131104.
This discovery supports the idea that FRBs happen during the black hole-forming collision of two neutron stars.
