In 1960, British theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson published a one-page paper in the journal Science that offered perhaps the most hopeful vision ever conceived of humanity’s technological future.

Russian researchers have outlined several ways technological resurrection may be possible in the future, including a method called digital immortality: restoration based on recordings. In this method, ...

We’d need an astronomical amount of resources to construct a Dyson sphere, a giant theoretical shell that would harvest all of a given star’s energy, around the Sun. In fact, as science journalist ...

Astronomers have identified seven star systems in our galaxy that could potentially host a Dyson sphere — a hypothetical megastructure an alien civilization could build around a star or black hole to ...

Elon Musk, the visionary behind SpaceX and Tesla, has recently proposed an ambitious plan to harness the sun’s power using a ...

In 1960, visionary physicist Freeman Dyson proposed that an advanced alien civilization would someday quit fooling around with kindergarten-level stuff like wind turbines and nuclear reactors and ...

Seven different stars in our galaxy may show signs of being contained within Dyson spheres, megastructures that could be constructed by advanced civilizations to harness radiation energy from stars, ...

A study on Dyson spheres titled "Infrared and Optical Detectability of Dyson Spheres at White Dwarf Stars" has been accepted for publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical ...

Looking for the best ways to generate power in Dyson Sphere Program? Building a Dyson Sphere requires a huge amount of energy, which is somewhat ironic given the whole point of a Dyson Sphere is to ...

Researchers have identified at least seven stars in our galaxy that may be surrounded by super-advanced alien megastructures, known as Dyson spheres. However, this is not the only explanation for ...
