The CALorimetric Electron Telescope has observed more than a hundred million events at energies above 10 GeV.
Read article 'Fast radio bursts reveal unexpected properties'
Two studies show that fast radio bursts (FRBs) have a richer phenomenology than initially thought and might originate in two different classes.
