Physicists from the United States and Israel are celebrating China's discovery of the glueball, a particle that has puzzled scientists for 50 years. The discovery, announced at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Natal, Brazil, was made by an international team after 15 years of research. They analyzed billions of measurements from an underground collider in Beijing to find the strongest evidence to date for the existence of glueballs, which are composed entirely of gluons. AI
