Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can emit as much energy in a fraction of a second that the sun releases in three days .
The first FRB was found in Australia in 2001 , but its origins have been elusive because most FRBs briefly flash once and then vanish.
Scientists have found more evidence linking these blasts to highly magnetic dead stars or magnetars.
These neutron stars would have to possess winds of charged particles strong enough to inflate bubbles of surrounding super-heated ionized gas.
New research suggests there is a link between nebular winds strong enough to inflate bubbles of plasma and the emission of FRBs.
Suggestions have included disparities between the interior and outer crust of a neutron star, causing it to "glitch" or momentarily speed up its rotation.
