The findings of a new study may help "explain some of the radio silence we’ve seen in technosignature searches" for alien ...

The research team conducted their search using the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) to exploit its unprecedented sensitivity. The observations consisted of five independent ...

A new SETI study suggests we may be overlooking alien signals not because they aren't there, but because their own stars are scrambling them before they escape into space. Turbulent plasma and ...

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect alien technosignatures like radio waves, but the cosmos is vast, and there are plenty of places left to look. New research ...

The first unmistakable signal from another intelligence may not be a cheerful greeting. A growing group of researchers is arguing that our inaugural contact is more likely to be a distress call, the ...

Solar winds and coronal mass ejections may scatter narrow signals, making them harder for Earth-based telescopes to detect. The SETI Institute uses radio telescopes to search for signs of intelligent ...
