Scientists have just completed an extensive search for signs of alien technology in the TRAPPIST-1 star system, the so-called "solar system 2.0" just 41 light-years distant in the Milky Way.

They found no evidence from within the star system, which is known to have seven planets orbiting a red dwarf star. That makes TRAPPIST-1 the star system most similar to the solar system.

Although the search for technosignatures at TRAPPIST-1 was fruitless, the research proved a new way to search for such signals in the future. "This research shows we are getting closer to detecting radio signals similar to the ones we send into space," said Nick Tusay, a graduate student research fellow at Penn State University, which conducted the ground-breaking project with the SETI Institute, in a press release .
