New research provides a physics based solution for why we aren't hearing potential messages from alien civilizations.

This week, researchers successfully reconstructed videos from the brain activity of mice. According to a new study, female birds are more likely to sing when their extended families help with ...

SETI researchers may have missed alien signals due to a cosmic phenomenon that distorts narrowband radio waves, new research ...

The oldest known musical instruments— flutes carved from bones —are over 40,000 years old. And humans were likely making music before that, based on fossils showing our ancestors had the ability to ...

Humans are fundamentally "musical animals"—and our capacity for music is rooted in biology, not just culture. This is the conclusion of new work by University of Amsterdam professor of Music Cognition ...

“Off The Ground” isn’t a song I’ve frequently listened to as a McCartney fan. Nevertheless, it has one line that piqued my ...

Solar winds and coronal mass ejections may scatter narrow signals, making them harder for Earth-based telescopes to detect. The SETI Institute uses radio telescopes to search for signs of intelligent ...
