Description

In this talk I will review the main observational properties of Fast Radio Bursts, a fast growing family of millisecond-duration extragalactic radio flares, whose origin is still debated. I will report on the latest news, in particular relating on their multiwavelength follow-up and on the possibility to use FRBs as cosmological probes.
