Their findings were published in January 2016 in the journalPhysical Review Letters.
The end result was a new boson particle that was only 34 times heavier than an electron.
We are very confident about our experimental results, Krasznahorkay toldNature.
However, the report was largely overlooked.
We brought it out from relative obscurity, says Feng.
The physics world is now buzzing with the possibility of an undiscovered fundamental force.
The physicists who conducted the original experiment are confident about what they have discovered.
Nature News article reports that other physicists seem doubtful, but are excited about the about the experimental results.
Physicists are now thinking about different ways to scrutinize this intriguing finding.
They are expected to confirm or invalidate the Hungarian experimental results in about a year.
