A generalist might read it because the proton radius puzzle, a long-standing disagreement between measurements, could ideally be settled by a first-principles lattice calculation.","discovery_kind":"extension","skeptic_critique":null,"referee_report":null,"author_rebuttal":null,"desk_editor":null,"rs_alignment":null,"lean_confirmation":null,"pith_extraction":null,"created_at":"2026-08-14T16:00:42.702699+00:00","model_set":{"reader":"deepseek-v4-flash"},"falsifier":null,"supporting_citations":[],"review_version":1}
