New detection method: Researchers created a statistical test that identifies life by spotting distinctive patterns in molecular diversity and distribution. Applicable to missions: The method can be ...
New research suggests that alien radio signals may be transformed by plasma from their home stars — and scientists on Earth could thus be overlooking prime evidence of alien intelligence.
New detection method: Scientists found that life leaves distinct statistical patterns in molecular diversity and distribution, offering a new way to identify biosignatures. Beyond Earth chemistry: The ...
Two rovers have had big breaks over the past few years in the case of whether Mars ever hosted life. Curiosity, which is exploring Gale Crater, conducted a chemistry experiment on a rock sample that ...
In the endless search for technosignatures—signs from some technologically advanced intelligent alien civilization—we've done everything from monitoring radio arrays to hypothesizing about whether ...
