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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Yet the key insight lies not in what was found, but in what the analysis revealed about the scale of previous searches.

The Parkes Observatory (called “The Dish” by locals) is an advanced radio telescope observatory, located close to the town of Parkes, New South Wales, Australia. The main piece of technology is a ...

The search for alien radio signals has spent decades listening in a familiar part of the spectrum. A first-of-its-kind survey now suggests that unexplored higher frequencies could widen the hunt, ...
