Advances in Technosignature Detection

A recent paper discusses advancements in the field of technosignatures, which has evolved significantly since Drake's original experiments. The research addresses current standards for detecting alien planets with technological capabilities and suggests how far Drake should search now using various telescopes. The findings highlight the progress made in the search for extraterrestrial civilizations over the past sixty years.

How much has changed since Drake ran those epoch-making experiments?

Six decades later,


progress in astronomy has allowed the long-marginalized SETI to be transformed into the robust
field known as “technosignatures.” With the search for civilizations among the stars heating up,
what are the current standards for detecting an alien planet with similar technological
capacities? In other words, if Drake were to redo his experiment now, how far out should he have
searched — and what if he used different kinds of telescopes?

In a paper published this week, a team of scientists has answered exactly that question. The
answers show just how far the field of technosignatures has come (full disclosure, I was happy
to be part of the effort).
