"Technosignatures: The Quest for Intelligent Life Beyond our Solar System"

Scientists at NASA are expanding their search for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth by considering "technosignatures," which are traces of advanced technology rather than biological life. These technosignatures could include laser or radio pulses, artificial chemicals in the atmospheres of distant planets, or the presence of "Dyson spheres" - massive structures built around stars to collect their energy. Researchers are using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze large amounts of data for patterns that could indicate engineered signals. The search for technosignatures is gaining legitimacy and funding, with NASA supporting numerous investigations in this field.
