The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.
SETI has spent decades listening for a sharp, well-defined radio signal that could indicate it was sent by distant intelligent life. Now researchers believe that space weather could distort and blur s ...
A study by alien searchers at the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) could explain why humanity has ...
We may be missing alien radio signals because they have become smeared beyond the narrowband detectors that SETI utilizes, a new study suggests.

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from ...
Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.
A recent study by EPFL finds that extraterrestrial signals in the Milky Way are likely rare and distant, with few detectable transmissions reaching Earth at any time ...
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 ...
After two decades of quiet data processing on millions of crowd-sourced home computers, the SETI@home project has narrowed down billions of space whispers to 100 signals. Could one of these point to ...
