One Scoop of Neutrino Flavor Please

Summary: Scientists have discovered that neutrinos can change their flavor. "Experiments have now established that one particular type, known as the muon "flavour", can flip to the electron type during flight." This has a huge bearing on the mystery of the anti-matter/matter unbalance. It could potentially hint that neutrinos and their anti-neutrino partners display CP-violation (a type of asymmetry).
