New research suggests that alien radio signals may be transformed by plasma from their home stars — and scientists on Earth could thus be overlooking prime evidence of alien intelligence.

The “Wow!” signal is one of our best pieces of evidence for aliens, but researchers are building a compelling case for a more ...

Using emerging radio techniques refined during and after the Second World War, the astronomers detected a powerful radio ...

Astronomers turned the Allen Telescope Array toward interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, formally designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), searching for narrowband radio signals that could indicate alien technology ...

For thousands of years, humanity has looked up at the stars asking the same question. Are we alone? Then one day, it finally ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the source of potential signals than previously thought. Conditions around ...

Could the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS exhibit technosignatures, or signals of alien technology? This is what a recent study published in The Astronomical Journal hopes to address as a team of ...

A study suggests that stellar plasma may distort alien signals, complicating SETI's search for extraterrestrial life by pushing signals below detection thresholds.

What steps can be taken to identify why we haven’t received radio signals from an extraterrestrial intelligence, also called technosignatures? This is what a recent study published in The ...

With new technologies come new opportunities. And that is especially true in astronomy—with every new advanced telescope, we ...

A new SETI study argues that turbulent space weather around distant stars can smear out ultra‑narrow alien radio signals, ...
