Physicists have confirmed the discovery of a glueball, a particle made entirely of gluons, as of October 2026.

Is it true that Physicists have confirmed the discovery of a glueball, a particle made entirely of gluons, as of October 2026?
Partly. One 2026 peer-reviewed item reports strong evidence for a glueball made of gluons, while a reference item states glueballs remain only predicted and sought experimentally. Neither settles whether physicists have confirmed the discovery as of October 2026.
