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 ...

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

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

The reason we haven’t heard from aliens could be remarkably simple: interstellar communication is hard, and turbulent plasma emitted by stars makes it harder. A new study proposes that when listening ...

For over six decades, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been tirelessly scanning the cosmos for signs of alien life. Despite its extensive efforts, the universe remains eerily ...

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 ...

Donald Trump has ordered the release of files related to aliens, UAP, and UFOs. If previous disclosures are any indication, get ready for a letdown.

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

"If a signal gets broadened by its own star's environment, it can slip below our detection thresholds, even if it's there." ...

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: SETI Institute Artists-in-Residence present Exoplanetary Poetry, an art-science collaboration that trains artificial intelligence on exoplanet atmospheric chemi ...

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 ...
