Recently, according to Live Science, the results of two scientific studies have been released that could, if verified, prove the existence of advanced alien civilizations elsewhere in the universe ...

What would be the ultimate solution to the energy problems of an advanced civilization? Renowned British American physicist Freeman Dyson theorized it would be a shell made up of mirrors or solar ...

Researchers found seven stars in our galaxy that might host alien megastructures called Dyson spheres. But these stars' strange behavior could also be explained by other phenomena, like clouds of dust ...

A researcher from German research institute Forschungszentrum Jülich has investigated for the first time the possibility of designing a Dyson sphere utilizing photovoltaic modules. A Dyson sphere is a ...

Astronomers decided to look for partially constructed Dyson spheres and other megastructures around stars. They determined that half-built Dyson spheres or megastructures would be easy to see with our ...

Dyson spheres (aka Dyson Swarms) are hypothetical structures where civilizations build solar power satellite collection around a star. We currently generate about 50 megawatts from space based solar ...

As civilizations become more and more advanced, their power needs also increase. It's likely that an advanced civilization might need so much power that they enclose their host star in solar ...
