A Chinese scientific research team published the results of their observations on a fast radio burst (FRB) in Nature on Wednesday. Researchers from the National Astronomical Observatory of China under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University observed nearly 1,863 bursts of repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 20201124A, obtaining the world's largest FRB polarization observation sample.

In February 2019, FAST announced call for proposal publicly to Chinese astronomers. Granted proposals started to arrange observations on 18th April. In its recent tracking observation of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) FRB121102 using FAST L-band 19-beam receiver (with FWHM of ~2.95' for individual beam), FAST detected multiple bursts.
Chinese astronomers have detected repeated fast radio bursts (FRB) - mysterious signals believed to be from a source about 3 billion light years from Earth - with the largest and most sensitive radio telescope ever built. Scientists detected the signals with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) and they are carefully cross-checking and processing them, according to researchers at the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).
