The dispersion of extragalactic fast radio bursts (FRBs) can serve as a powerful probe of the diffuse plasma between and surrounding galaxies, which contains most of the Universe’s baryons. By cross-correlating the dispersion of background FRBs with the locations of foreground galaxies, we can study… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 041001] Published Tue Jul 21, 2026
