Astronomers may have already scanned millions of more stars than they thought, a realization that might lead to new ways to hunt for extraterrestrial radio signals.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

One of the longest-standing techniques in humanity’s search for life beyond Earth may be causing scientists to miss alien signals entirely, a new study finds. Since the very beginnings of the search ...

Astronomers searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence may have been missing alien signals in part of the radio spectrum that has not ...

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

Astronomers may have already scanned millions of more stars than they thought, but that might lead to new ways to hunt for ...
