Scientists have long been trying to determine how elements heavier than iron, including gold and platinum, were first created and scattered through the Universe, and new research may give us another part of the answer: magnetars.
The "music" of starquakes - enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars - can reveal far more information about the stars.
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are an astronomical mystery, with their exact cause and origins still unconfirmed. A recent research found several notable similarities between FRBs and earthquakes.
