Connecting the Unseen: Spectroscopy Reveals Potential Link Between Astronomy and Materials Physics.

An international research team has found a potential link between neutron star mergers and fast radio bursts (FRBs), two of the universe’s most enigmatic phenomena. The observed correlation, if confirmed by further data, suggests that some FRBs may be created by the merging and subsequent collapse of neutron stars, potentially providing a new understanding of these mysterious cosmic events.
