If 3I/ATLAS isn’t an alien probe, its discovery may be even more important. Scientists detected no radio signals from the ...

For decades, scientists have been actively searching for signs of extraterrestrial life. Fromradio waves to laser flashes and infrared heat signatures, the hunt for alien technosignatures has ...

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 ...

We might have missed signals from aliens because they are being disrupted by the conditions of space, scientists have warned. Messages being sent from distant planets could be disrupted by activity ...

What steps can be taken to identify why we haven’t received radio signals from an extraterrestrial intelligence, also called technosignatures? This is what a recent study published in The ...

One of the longest-standing techniques in humanity’s search for life beyond Earth may be causing scientists to miss alien signals entirely, a new study finds. Since the very beginnings of the search ...

For decades, humans have scanned for signals of alien technology emanating through the galaxy. The search highlights the contradiction between the abundance of planets and stars that stretch across ...

A new analysis of NASA's Deep Space Network finds Earth's strongest radio beams align with planetary line‑ups, boosting the chance alien civilisations could detect us and suggesting where and when we ...

Scientists hunting for radio signals from any form of advanced extraterrestrial life that might be out there trying to contact us are now starting to wonder if something has been messing with their ...

We know what happens when the sun sends out coronal mass ejections to our planet. Satellites can fry. Power lines can stop transmitting. And in 1859, a particularly powerful punch known as the ...
