We may be missing alien radio signals because they have become smeared beyond the narrowband detectors that SETI utilizes, a new study suggests.

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these celestial objects less random.

A study by alien searchers at the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) could explain why humanity has ...

For decades, humanity has been looking for answers to unravel the mystery surrounding aliens’ existence, but they have failed ...

According to a new study, any alien civilizations out there? Probably short-lived — and doomed to fail spectacularly. For ...

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal argues that “space weather” could be distorting incoming transmissions from extraterrestrials. The paper, penned by researchers at the SETI (Search ...

We might have missed signals from aliens because they are being disrupted by the conditions of space, scientists have warned.

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence harder to detect. Stellar activity and plasma ...

Beyond that, in the decades to come, we might be able to see the colours of an exoplanet’s surface, and determine if plant life might be present there. And then we can search for changes in a planet’s ...

Our search for extraterrestrial life has turned up empty, perhaps because technologically advanced civilizations are doomed ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...
