Searching for Dyson spheres, rings or swarms remains a preoccupation of many astronomers. If there are any out there, they will eventually be found, and the person or research team to do so will go down in history for making one of the most momentous discoveries in the history of humanity. If you're interested in claiming that accolade for yourself, an excellent place to look may be around white dwarfs. At least, that's the theory put forward in a new paper by Benjamin Zuckerman, a now-retired professor of astrophysics at UCLA.
