Gravitons are theoretical particles proposed as force carriers for gravity, characterized by zero mass, zero charge, and spin 2. Current gravitational field theory suggests that their detection is improbable due to their low interaction probability. While direct detection of gravitons remains elusive, gravitational waves, which may represent coherent ensembles of gravitons, are being studied with existing and planned detectors. Notable works by Tony Rothman and Stephen Boughn in 2006 address the challenges surrounding graviton detection.
