New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the ...

The first unmistakable sign of extraterrestrial technology may not arrive as a calm greeting. It may look more like a flare. That idea sits at the center of David Kipping’s “Eschatian Hypothesis,” ...

A recent SETI Institute study suggests that space weather could blur and weaken extraterrestrial radio signals long before they reach us.

If advanced aliens lived on a planet within a few hundred to a thousand light years away from Earth, then vast numbers of their signals must already have crossed Earth without being noticed, a new ...

Scientists hunting for extraterrestrial life believe alien civilisations may indeed be attempting to contact Earth, but turbulent conditions in space are scrambling their messages before they reach us ...

For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

For over two decades, millions of people volunteered the computational capacity of their computers to help UC Berkeley scientists in their search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). The goal of ...

Advanced aliens could be chatting with each other using light flashes in plain sight, similar to how fireflies communicate, according to a new study that could lead to new approaches in finding ...

Turbulent plasma near distant stars could blur ultra-narrow signals before they leave their home star systems - making them difficult to detect.

Scientists believe turbulent “space weather” around distant stars could be scrambling potential alien signals before they ...
