Scientists have traced the origins of a fast radio burst to the magnetosphere of a rotating neutron star, providing insights into these cosmic phenomena.

Magnetars likely contributed to the cosmic creation of gold and heavy elements earlier than previously understood.

Heavy metals, essential for life, may have originated from eruptions on magnetars, a type of star pivotal in creating fundamental elements.

A magnetar explosion can have a significant impact on Earth despite immense distances, demonstrating the power of small celestial objects.

New research on non-repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) analyzed polarized light to gain insights into their origins, suggesting distinct origins for repeating and non-repeating FRBs.

FRBs are linked to magnetars, likely forming from core-collapse supernovae in massive, metal-rich galaxies.
