Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy. The measurement comes from a vintage particle collider at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois. If confirmed, the finding would imply the existence of undiscovered particles or forces.
