Astronomers trained a neural network to search for fast radio bursts without complex data preprocessing. On the repeating source FRB 20121102A, it found 5,927 signals—three times more than before. Analysis showed that the burst energies always split clearly into two classes, and this property is unc

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) — millisecond signals of colossal energy — remain one of the great mysteries of astrophysics. Their environment is often saturated with magnetized plasma that distorts polarization and scatters the pulses. A new technique combines the analysis of these distortions, akin to d
