New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

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 ...

Institute has found that we may have missed transmissions from intelligent alien life for a very benign reason. SETI’s searches are focused only on very narrow signals, so the organization typically ...

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

Solar winds near aliens’ homes – and ours – might be blowing away signs of alien technosignatures by broadening signals The ...

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 ...

Researchers who listen for signs of non-human life say signals ‘can slip below detection thresholds, even if it’s there’ ...

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

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

E.T. could be phoning home — but we’re not hearing the call. A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal argues that “space weather” could be distorting incoming transmissions from ...

In 2011, Paul Krugman infamously declared that the US could revitalize its slow economy if it were to prepare for an invasion of space aliens. Would the real ...
