Stellar activity and plasma turbulence could distort narrow radio signals before they leave their home planetary systems, potentially explaining part of the long silence in the search for ...

The reason we haven’t heard from aliens could be remarkably simple: interstellar communication is hard, and turbulent plasma ...

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 ...

I can’t help but wonder what the origin was for naming Quasar Street, and the further down Galaxy Drive. I ...

We may be missing alien radio signals because they have become smeared beyond the narrowband detectors that SETI utilizes, a new study suggests.

Life's capacity to survive in simulated lunar and Martian soils has been explored in two papers published in Scientific Reports. Treating simulated lunar soil with both symbiotic fungi and ...

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

We might have missed signals from aliens because they are being disrupted by the conditions of space, scientists have warned.

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests that stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from extraterrestrial intelligence harder to detect. Stellar activity and plasma ...
