Editorial: Funders have picked a damaging fight with scientists and the public. They should reconsider their plans

Nature Astronomy, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41550-026-02906-6The IAU’s first fully online symposium brought researchers together from around the globe to discuss technosignatures. Upcoming all-sky surveys, exoplanet missions and tools to search data archives offer new directions for the field.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is set to redraw the map of the solar system by discovering millions of small, fast-moving objects hidden all around us.

Not all signs of intelligence have to be highly technological. Take bread, for example.

Draw a rectangular shape. Put a cylinder around it. Add a few small rectangles to any lines, such that they straddle them. At least one on the rectangle, and another on the cylinder. These are airlock...

The threatened closure of the world-famous radio telescope is symptomatic of a drive against learning and inquiry that is making us sicker as a society

Nature - The towering formations appearing over severe wildfires in France and Oregon loft smoke so high they have global consequences.

Astronomers warn it would tear the heart out of UK science, and leave a generation untrained.

The Perseverance rover on Mars has observed unusual minerals associated with organic matter — raising questions about the geochemistry of ancient Mars.

A sample collected in July 2024 by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover may be “the closest we've actually come to discovering ancient life on Mars,” according to Nicky Fox, the science head of NASA.

This white paper highlights the work that is needed to anticipate the challenges and societal impacts of a possible technosignature detection.
