Astronomers Conduct First Low-Frequency Search for Alien Technology in Distant Galaxies

Using the Murchison Widefield Array, researchers scanned 2,800 galaxies for advanced extraterrestrial signals.

The study marks the first attempt to detect technosignatures beyond our galaxy at low radio frequencies.
Led by Dr. Chenoa Tremblay and Prof. Steven Tingay, the research utilized the MWA's large field of view.
No technosignatures were found, but the study provides valuable insights for future searches.
The MWA's capabilities allow for simultaneous study of astrophysical phenomena and technosignatures.
International collaboration and advanced technology are key to expanding our understanding of the universe.
