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

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 ...

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 ...

A study by alien searchers at the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) could explain why humanity has ...

Stellar plasma can smear alien radio signals before they escape their star system, making them harder for astronomers to detect.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
