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

For over six decades, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been tirelessly scanning the cosmos for signs ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

TL;DR: In May 2023, the ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter sent an "alien signal" to Earth as part of an art project called "A Sign in Space," aimed at testing the process of deciphering potential alien ...

Green Bank Telescope rules out alien signals in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after rigorous scientific deep search.

Scientists reveal one key way we might have missed signals from aliens - ‘Smearing’ of signals could mean that there are ...
