A Chinese-led international team of scientists has confirmed the existence of a rare form of matter known as a glueball, making entirely of force. The breakthrough was announced at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Natal, Brazil. Glueballs are composed of gluons, which act as force carriers to "glue" quarks together into larger particles like protons and neutrons.
This discovery, which took 15 years of research and the use of the Beijing Electron Positron Collider II, marks a significant advancement in understanding the fundamental building blocks of matter.
