In a bid to uncover potential technologically advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, scientists have broadened their search by directing their attention to a star-rich area near the center of our galaxy.

This new approach involves monitoring a signal type that has been overlooked until now, but could potentially be generated by intelligent alien life forms, Reuters reported.

Previous endeavors to detect signs of alien technology predominantly centered around a specific narrowband radio signal within a limited frequency range or isolated and peculiar transmissions.

However, the recently announced initiative, as explained by scientists on Wednesday, shifts the focus to a different signal type.

This signal type holds the possibility of facilitating communication between advanced civilizations across the vast expanse of interstellar space.
