Faced with the difficulty of doing exact calculations, theorists are turning to approximation techniques to understand and predict what happens at the quark level.
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.
A recent meeting in Cracow gave an overview of developments in B physics.
