One of the longest-standing techniques in humanity’s search for life beyond Earth may be causing scientists to miss alien signals entirely, a new study finds. Since the very beginnings of the search ...

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 ...

Scientists hunting for radio signals from any form of advanced extraterrestrial life that might be out there trying to contact us are now starting to wonder if something has been messing with their ...

We may have been missing signals from intelligent aliens because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for ...

SETI@home, the pioneering distributed-computing project launched in 1999 that enlisted millions of volunteers to analyze radio signals from space, produced some 12 billion detections — brief bursts of ...

This month’s highlights range from careful scientific evaluation of speculation surrounding interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS to broader discussions of where life might exist beyond Earth, informed by ...

A distant pulsar’s radio signal flickers as it passes through space, much like stars twinkle in Earth’s atmosphere. By monitoring this effect for 10 months, researchers watched the pattern slowly ...

The Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is evolving. We've moved on from the limited thinking of monitoring radio waves to checking for interstellar pushing lasers or even budding Dyson ...
