Physicists discover never-before seen particle sitting on a tabletop

This newly-discovered particle could account for dark matter.

Researchers have discovered a new particle that is a magnetic relative of the Higgs boson. Whereas the discovery of the Higgs boson required the tremendous particle-accelerating power of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this never-before-seen particle ?—? dubbed the axial Higgs boson — was found using an experiment that would fit on a small kitchen countertop.

Other than the fact that a Higgs Boson sounds like something that is the subject a sea chanteys, this is great forward-looking stuff.
