Radio-bright Galaxies Could Harbor Advanced Civilizations
Introduction: A New Way to Look for Extraterrestrial Intelligences For decades, researchers have scanned the cosmos for signs of intelligent life using radio waves and other technosignatures. A watershed moment came with Breakthrough Listen, a multi-observatory effort that expanded the search for artificial transmissions beyond the Milky Way into the broader universe. The latest work…
