In this case, the discovery, if it’s real, could get the awards for Physics and also for Chemistry. Because it’s such a once in a century level of scientific breakthrough

Perhaps Physics award mainly for a theoretical explanation and Chemistry award mainly for the experimental process

Therefore, six authors might be honored. It’s unlikely, but it’s a solution if the authors deserve it
