A physicist from the University of Portsmouth has published a groundbreaking study proposing that gravity itself may be evidence we are living in a simulated universe. The findings, released in the journal AIP Advances and selected for the journal’s ‘Editor’s Picks’, suggest that gravity could be the result of an underlying computational process. Dr Melvin…
Vast areas of Chornobyl-affected farmland can now be safely farmed, new research shows. Radiation levels for farm workers are well within safety limits, significantly lower than natural background. The new protocol offers a global model for reclaiming land after nuclear contamination. Newswise — Thousands of hectares of Chornobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation…
Study introduces a new way to think about gravity – not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the universe is trying to stay organised Gravity is the result of a computational process within the universe Gravity may be caused by the way matter is organised in the universe Newswise — Whether…
A new study explores how puppetry can be a fun and effective tool for helping young people understand complex scientific topics The findings show that using creative methods, such as puppets, not only supports learning and builds confidence, but also inspires young people to explore future careers in science and engineering The research highlights low-carbon…
Social media influencers (SMIs) pose psychological, health and security risks and need tighter regulation, a new study finds. SMIs have revolutionised marketing, shaping consumer behaviour, brand strategies, and even societal norms. However, new research exposes a lesser-known side of influencer culture, one that raises ethical, psychological, and regulatory concerns. A recent study by the University of Portsmouth…
Newswise — Drinking ketones improves heart health, a new small-scale study from the University of Portsmouth has found. This is the first time people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been given a drink with ketone esters – a supplement that is meant to plunge your system into ketosis – to monitor the effect on…
Newswise — A new study by environmental scientists has uncovered widespread use of greenwashing and disinformation tactics by England’s nine major water and sewage companies (WaSCs). The research, led by the University of Portsmouth in collaboration with The University of Manchester, Windrush Against Sewage Pollution (WASP) and an independent scientist, highlights how these companies have…
