Description
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short (from millisecond to tens of millisecond) radio flashes originating from sources located across the whole Universe up (so far) to a redshift around 2. Although about 5000 sources have been now catalogued, the engine of the FRB emission is still unconstrained, and the nature of the underlying source(s) debated. This contribution will focus on some recent developments in this blooming astrophysical field, while presenting a new experiment, which INAF is significantly involved in, and which promises to play a major role for both addressing the many still unsolved questions and for fully exploiting the FRBs also in order to perform fundamental physics and cosmology research.
