New research suggests that talking to humpback whales could help us learn how to communicate with aliens. Scientists from the SETI Institute, University of California Davis, and the Alaska Whale Foundation have been conversing with a humpback whale named...

Aliens haven't contacted Earth because there is no sign of intelligence on our planet, a recent paper has concluded. Earth is too primitive to be of any interest to advanced extraterrestrial species; thus, aliens' search for intelligent life will not...

A recent study suggests that on various planets, there might be unique chemical reactions that can sustain life quite different from what we're familiar with on Earth. Unlike our planet, where life relies on carbon-based compounds, these reactions could...

The development of an artificial intelligence (AI) program capable of detecting alien life in physical samples is a significant breakthrough in astrobiology and scientific research. The AI program in question has been trained using a diverse range of materials, including...

A team from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California has suggested that a snake-like robot could explore difficult terrain on icy moons like Enceladus at Saturn. Enceladus is well-known for spewing water through its icy surface and is considered to...

On April 13, 2023, scientists will launch a spacecraft called Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) into space. The mission of this spacecraft is to explore distant Jupiter and its icy moons in the hopes of finding signs of life beyond...

Scientists have uncovered a remarkable new species living in our ocean's depths - Sulfurimonas pluma. Unlike its relatives, this organism thrives hundreds of meters away from volcanic vents despite inhabiting oxygen-rich waters – an environment where survival was thought...

Recent findings by NASA's SOFIA telescope have dismissed a remarkable claim made two years ago that there were signs of alien life in the atmosphere of Venus. The 2020 study suggested this was possible due to an observed chemical phosphine...

Aliens beyond our solar system could be discovered within the next 25 years, a Swiss government scientist said. Sasha Quanz, an astrophysicist at Switzerland's federal technology institute ETH Zurich said that current technology such as the James Webb Space Telescope...

A new study exploring the icy shell of Europa, one of Jupiter’s largest moons, finds the frigid satellite shares striking similarities with Greenland. Evidence of the shallow pools—not far beneath the frozen surface of Europa—emerged when scientists noticed that giant...
