The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope was used for the detection.
The source of these FRBs is believed to be a magnetar, a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field.
The source of these FRBs is believed to be approximately 8 billion light-years away.
Ultra-fast radio bursts (FRBs) lasting only millionths of a second have been detected.
Astronomers have detected ultra-fast radio bursts (FRBs) that lasted only millionths of a second, originating from a distant source in the universe. These FRBs are believed to be from a source approximately 8 billion light-years away. The discovery was made using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) radio telescope.
FRBs are intense pulses of radio waves that last only a few milliseconds. They were first discovered in 2007, and their origins have remained a mystery to scientists. The recent detection of these ultra-fast bursts, however, adds a new layer to the mystery. These bursts are significantly shorter than typical FRBs, lasting only a few millionths of a second.
The source of these FRBs is believed to be a magnetar, a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. However, the exact nature and cause of these bursts are still under investigation. The detection of these ultra-fast FRBs could provide valuable insights into the nature of the universe and the properties of matter under extreme conditions.
