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

For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

Recent media coverage highlights the wide range of research, education, and scientific perspectives emerging from the SETI ...

Radio silence has long puzzled those searching for extraterrestrial intelligence, but the answer might lie much closer to the ...

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 ...

Scientists believe turbulent “space weather” around distant stars could be scrambling potential alien signals before they ...

After two decades of quiet data processing on millions of crowd-sourced home computers, the SETI@home project has narrowed down billions of space whispers to 100 signals. Could one of these point to ...
