New fast radio burst detector could sift through 'a whole beach of sand' to solve big cosmic mystery

  • The CRACO radio telescope system processes a massive amount of data in real-time, so it can detect fast radio bursts and sporadic neutron stars with very high efficiency.

The article discusses the development of a new detector designed to capture fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are mysterious, millisecond-long bursts of radio waves from space. These bursts are significant because they could help scientists understand the universe's structure, including the matter between galaxies. The new detector, likened to sifting through a beach's worth of sand for a few grains, aims to increase the detection rate of FRBs, which are currently detected at a rate of about 500 per year. This technology could potentially reveal more about the origins of these cosmic events, possibly linked to magnetars or other high-energy astrophysical phenomena. The project involves collaboration between scientists from various institutions, including the University of East Anglia, and is part of a broader effort to unravel one of the biggest cosmic mysteries.
