Signal

Over the last 15 years astronomers have detected hundreds of unexplained radio signals from space – fast radio bursts (FRBs). Now a fresh look at radio telescope data has doubled the number of known sources, bringing us closer to solving the mystery.

The universe appears to be full of fast radio bursts (FRBs) that are difficult to locate and identify. But now astronomers have traced one back to its home galaxy – the closest one yet – which could help unravel the mystery.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern astronomy. Now a whopping eight new repeating signals have been detected.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern astronomy, so the more of them we can locate, the closer we get to figuring what causes them. Now astronomers have managed to trace an FRB back to its home galaxy, many billions of light-years away.

Scientists have been unable to figure out what fast radio bursts are or where they’re even coming from. Now, a team of astronomers has finally managed to trace one of the signals back to its home galaxy billions of light-years away, meaning we’re closing in on the culprit.

A huge radio telescope array spread across the Australian Outback is helping identify the mysterious fast radio bursts. Astronomers have now announced the discovery of 20 new FRBs in a bit over a year, including the brightest and closest events yet seen.

A spinal cord injury doesn’t need to be complete to cause paralysis – even with some nerves left intact, messages from the brain still don’t get through. While investigating why, researchers determined that a certain drug helps balance the Yin and Yang of the nervous system to restore limb movement.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are strange, extremely bright and mysterious signals from space. Now, astronomers at Australia’s Parkes Observatory have recorded three new signals in relatively quick succession – one of which is the brightest FRB ever detected.

Gamma ray bursts are mysterious signals blasting in from the deepest reaches of space, and we still don’t have much of an idea about what causes them. In order to help unlock the secrets, researchers have managed to recreate mini gamma ray bursts in the lab for the first time.

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) have puzzled astronomers since they were first detected 10 years ago. Normally FRBs fire off once and aren’t heard from again, but one has repeated over the years, and this week it has kicked into hyperdrive, pulsing an unprecedented 15 times in the space of a few hours.

In August 1977, the Ohio State University Radio Observatory picked up a radio transmission that was so strong it inspired the astronomer who discovered it to write “Wow!” in the margin of the data printout. Almost 40 years later, researchers have solved the mystery.

The Light Lead from London's Iconic Sound is claimed to be the world's first optical analog jack-to-jack guitar cable, and is touted to have zero capacitance, zero loading, electrical safety and a virtually infinite lifespan.
