As civilizations progress technologically, their energy demands inevitably skyrocket. To meet such escalating power ...

Often imagined as the crown jewel of future megastructures, a Dyson swarm—an orbiting fleet of solar collectors around the ...

A new paper explores this and concludes that a complete Dyson swarm outside the orbit of Earth would raise our temperature by 140 K. The concept of a Dyson swarm is purely a hypothetical concept ...

As civilisations become more and more advanced, their power needs also increase. It’s likely that an advanced civilisation ...

A photovoltaic Dyson sphere is a theoretical megastructure that could provide vast amounts of energy for interstellar space ...

One explanation for the behavior was an alien megastructure called a "Dyson swarm." Now, that possibility has been ruled out. So, what's actually going on? To find out, scientists used telescopes ...

Here the use of loosely coupled objects, in say a ring formation, could be in an orbit around the star, yet otherwise fulfill the requirements of a so-called Dyson swarm of independent structures.

A Dyson sphere would likely be a swarm of solar collectors rather than a solid shell. This "Dyson swarm" would be mechanically stable and resistant to damage. Dyson swarms could be detected by ...
