Scientists have captured mysterious radio signals traveling through space for more than a decade, baffled by what could be emitting such raging pulses.
Some experts believe the fast radio bursts (FRBs) could be aliens attempting to make contact with Earth, while others suspect black holes are the source.
Now, researchers at the University of Tokyo have suggested FRBs are caused by starquakes on rapidly spinning neutron stars that possess the most powerful magnetic fields in the known universe.
