"Astronomers Unveil Record-Breaking Shortest Fast Radio Bursts in History"

Astronomers have discovered the shortest fast radio bursts (FRBs) ever recorded, with one lasting only five microseconds, a thousand times shorter than typical FRBs. These bursts are believed to originate from a galaxy three billion light years away, but their exact nature remains unknown. The discovery suggests that the figure of 10,000 FRBs reaching Earth daily may need to be revised upwards, indicating that a significant fraction of FRBs may have been missed due to computational limitations. The findings also raise questions about the origin of FRB emissions and the impact of the surrounding environment on their time structure.
