An international team of researchers, led by McGill University scientists, has confirmed a key link between fast radio bursts (FRBs) and neutron stars - extremely dense remnants of massive stars that explode as supernovae. This milestone discovery, derived from a detailed analysis of a single FRB, sheds light on the enigmatic radio flashes that have puzzled astronomers for over a decade.

Fast radio bursts are brief and brilliant explosions of radio waves emitted by extremely compact objects such as neutron stars and possibly black holes. These fleeting fireworks last for just a thousandth of a second and can carry an enormous amount of energy - enough to briefly outshine entire galaxies.
