Is there a link to an article or something? I'm just seeing a picture and a few paragraphs of text in my client

Cant see one either.
Found this online: https://news.rice.edu/news/2025/mathematical-methods-point-possibility-particles-long-thought-impossible
Feels like they didn't read the thing either. The article keeps going on about fermions and bozons, their properties, tooling uses to theoretically back up new findings and so on, but actually fails to specify what are new findings and what they do.
Yeah i cant really find a clear understanding there myself but op does mention the source so thats where i looked.
Sounds like its not a new idea either just that they weren’t sure when they first theorized it up. But assumed they where wrong. Appears like the breakthrough here is some proof that the past scientist where not wrong. But the question remains what this “other” part really is.
@davidgro@lemmy.world Here's the study! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08262-7
Sometimes I think I'm smart. Then I try reading about sub-atomic particle physics and realize I'm not.
Ah go easy on yourself. It's all niche knowledge.
I'm my first job I worked in a chip company. There was an entire department dedicated to the interface between the chip and whatever it connected to. I learned just how incredibly specialised individual knowledge has become and how much cooperation between those niches is required to enjoy the things we all take for granted.
