Most alien-signal searches listen to a narrow part of the radio spectrum, but astronomers are now testing higher frequencies that have barely been explored. A first search using archived ALMA ...

Fresh scientific findings highlight two major gaps in the hunt for alien life.

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 ...

Most SETI attempts have focused on a narrow stretch of the radio spectrum known as the “water hole." ...

Louisa Mason's study uses archived ALMA data to explore new radio frequencies for alien signals, expanding SETI's search ...

Researchers are zeroing in on more deliberate “narrow-band” alien signals, well outside the radio frequencies SETI has ...

The “Wow!” signal is one of our best pieces of evidence for aliens, but researchers are building a compelling case for a more natural source.

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 ...

If advanced aliens lived on a planet within a few hundred to a thousand light years away from Earth, then vast numbers of their signals must already have crossed Earth without being noticed, a new ...

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 ...

Most radio SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) projects concentrate on frequencies from 1.42 to 1.66 GHz.

Searching for extraterrestrial intelligence has so far primarily meant focusing on one particular type of signal—and that ...
