Most alien-signal searches listen to a narrow part of the radio spectrum, but astronomers are now testing higher frequencies that have barely been explored. A first search using archived ALMA ...

Given the size and age of the universe, it should be full of species with technology far more advanced than our own. But so far there is no trace ...

A group of Chinese scientists is diving deep into the cosmos in search of alien radio signals from the TRAPPIST-1 star system, which might house planets that could support life. This is no small feat, ...

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has yet to detect alien technosignatures like radio waves, but the cosmos is vast, and there are plenty of places left to look. New research ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, humanity has scoured the cosmos for any signs that we aren't alone in the universe. But now, researchers at the SETI ...

Astronomers have been scanning the skies for alien radio signals for decades, but so far they’ve heard nary a peep (with one possible exception). But according to a recent study, that could be because ...

Astronomers at South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope have detected the first radio waves coming from the interstellar comet ...

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 ...

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 ...

The group leading the charge in the search for extraterrestrial life has given the all clear: An interstellar comet looks to be completely natural and free of any alien tech. The SETI Institute said ...
