Follow us on FROM TOI PRINT EDITION New particles, new physics: An experiment at Fermilab points to undiscovered forms of matter and energy lurking in the universe April 16, 2021, 7:41 PM IST The author is a science and technology writer. There might be dozens of undiscovered subatomic particles in the universe, and new physics might be lurking around the corner, if the results of a recent scientific experiment, conducted at Fermilab in the US, are correct. An international team of 200 particle physicists spread among seven countries made the announcement earlier this month, immediately setting the world of physics abuzz. Graziano Venanzoni, one of the leaders of the experiment and a physicist at the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, underscored the importance of the experiment in a suitably grandiose manner, calling the day of the announcement, “An extraordinary day, long awaited not only by us but by the whole international physics community.”
