but paywall won't let us read this

but you can remove it

Worked for me, thx!

server not found

The wayback machine worked, of course. Thank you, I really appreciate the effort.

"Remove paywalls" kinda worked but asked me to sell my soul instead.

Extra silly is that we have to traverse the paywall for this while the original paper is free for all: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09920-0

So anyway, the headline is misleading as always. Nevertheless, I think, the finding is quite cool - proper observation of virtual particles performing subnuclear reactions, experimental proof that the quarks first form as correlated particles, and then react to form other particles, and a way to gather information on all of these through these reactions. Looks neat.
