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

"Extremophile" bacteria could survive asteroid impacts that are strong enough to launch them into space, suggesting that life could travel between planetary bodies.

Scientists are scrambling to explain why interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is carrying life's chemical building blocks at concentrations never before seen, and it makes its final pass through our cosmic n ...

A team of researchers from Queen’s University Belfast have introduced a new tool that can measure the invisible, systemic changes to ecosystems caused by biological invasions.

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 ...

The alien-like machines, described as ‘legged metamachines’, are built from autonomous modules that can be snapped together in a variety of forms. Researchers say the approach could lead to robots ...

A study by Johns Hopkins University has found that alien microbes could travel between planets on asteroids, meaning humans could be descended from Martians. Astrobiologists have long speculated that ...

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

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