New SETI research suggests space weather like solar winds could be interfering with alien radio signals, making them harder to detect.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A new study by researchers at the SETI Institute suggests stellar "space weather" could make radio signals from ...

In May 2022, the International Journal of Astrobiology published a paper suggesting a candidate source of the WOW! Signal: a possible Sun-like star in the Gaia Archive, 2MASS 19281982-2640123, located ...

Scientists reveal one key way we might have missed signals from aliens - ‘Smearing’ of signals could mean that there are messages we are missing, researchers say ...
