Quantum computers, such as this one shown at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, could run programs that have been almost completely generated by artificial-intelligence tools.

Glueballs are made of gluons, which bind quarks to form protons and neutrons.Credit: Sefa kart/Getty After almost two decades of searching, a team of physicists in China says it has observed strong evidence of a mysterious particle called a glueball that is made entirely of force-carrying particles. Researchers at the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) Collaboration,
