Humans have been searching the stars for alien radio signals for decades — and so far, E.T. has not phoned home. But that doesn’t mean intelligent life isn’t out there, a new study hints. Rather, ...

Astronomers may have been listening for alien civilizations in only a small slice of the radio spectrum while overlooking a largely unexplored range of higher frequencies. Using archived data from the ...

Astronomers hunting alien signals say turbulent stellar plasma around distant worlds may be scrambling extraterrestrial transmissions before they ever reach Earth, according to a new study published ...

Scientists around the world have spent decades pointing radio telescopes at the sky, hoping to catch that one signal proving we’re not alone in the universe. But now researchers at SETI are asking: ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A high-frequency SETI search using ALMA opened new radio bands and showed that past surveys may have covered millions more stars. ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study has found that stellar "space weather" could be making it significantly harder to detect potential signals from aliens ...

A comet from another star system does not arrive every year. That is part of what made 3I/ATLAS so compelling when it appeared in July 2025. It streaked into the Solar System on a path so extreme that ...

When it comes to the search for life elsewhere in the universe, methane and other chemical compounds are seen as signs of biology because they are often produced by living microbes. However, ...

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 ...

No alien signals have been detected from an interstellar, cigar-shaped space rock discovered travelling through our Solar System in October, researchers listening for evidence of extraterrestrial ...

Experts stress need for transparency while aiming to prevent premature announcements and protect scientists Alien hunters have released fresh guidelines on how to handle potential signals from ...

The search for alien radio signals has spent decades listening in a familiar part of the spectrum. A first-of-its-kind survey now suggests that unexplored higher frequencies could widen the hunt, ...
