A new analysis from the BESIII experiment in Beijing has provided the strongest evidence yet that a particle called X(2370) is a glueball, a theoretical particle made only of gluons, the carriers of the strong force. The findings were published on August 10, 2026. First spotted in 2011, X(2370) had a mass consistent with a glueball, but its identity remained uncertain. The fresh data reveals more properties that match theory, suggesting X(2370) is indeed the first known form of matter built solely from a fundamental force's carrier particles. If confirmed, this would be a major confirmation of quantum chromodynamics, the theory of the strong interaction.
