Fast Radio Bursts: Solving the Universe's Radio Mystery
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)—millisecond radio flashes from distant galaxies—have evolved from a 2007 curiosity to a cutting-edge astrophysical frontier. The 2020 detection of an FRB from a Galactic magnetar confirmed neutron stars as at least one source, yet the brightest burst ever recorded (RBFLOAT, 2025) never repeated, suggesting multiple progenitor types. New telescopes like CHIME, MeerKAT, and the forthcoming SKA are pinpointing FRBs to unprecedented precision, revealing they can probe mis...
