Courtesy of the Daily Grail, Live Science has an article dramatically entitled "Bizarre Particles Keep Flying Out of Antarctica's Ice, and They Might Shatter Modern Physics":

It seems that on three occasions bursts of high-energy particles have been detected after passing through the Earth. A new paper calculates the probability of the Standard Model producing the observed data as 1 in 3.5 million, so it's suggested they are new particles.
Maybe I'm not really understanding the implications of this. There seem to have been so many new particles over the years. Maybe "extend" would be a more appropriate word than "shatter"?
