The B-ology of physics
The physics of B particles, containing the fifth (b) quark, is now a major research focus. The first such particle was discovered at Fermilab exactly 25 years ago.

Direct evidence seen for oscillations
The Sun shines, just as described by our best theories of its thermonuclear furnace. Neutrinos oscillate - at least, electron-neutrinos change into another type.

CERN workshop marks a transition
In 1963, Nicola Cabibbo proposed a mechanism to describe transformations between up, down and strange quarks. Almost a decade later, Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa generalized quark mixing to ...

CP violation is measured precisely
The problem of obtaining a precise measurement of one of the most elusive effects in particle physics has finally been overcome.

How CP violation came to B
Two major new experiments have provided the first strong indications of the delicate CP violation effect in a totally new domain - the decays of B mesons (containing the fifth or "b" quark).

B-factories measure an eternal triangle
New results from the "B factories" could help to explain why a universe made of matter emerged from a Big Bang that created equal amounts of matter and antimatter.
