That is correct--it has been expected (since, you know, Newton...) but not yet measured at this scale. That is why the headline says "detected" as opposed to theorized.
>What am I missing when they say quantum particles do not fit with gravity.
Quantum mechanics predicts that Newtons description of gravity will break down under certain conditions. We currently do not have the ability to measure this effect, so it is all theoretical at this point.
