Recent results from the T2K experiment with neutrinos and antineutrinos may explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the formation of the universe.

Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are elusive particles, interacting with other particles only via the weak force and gravitational force. Yet, scientists at the T2K experiment have managed to find an asymmetry between matter and antimatter. In more technical terms, the asymmetry is found to a 2-sigma level - i.e. "confirmed to a 95% probability".

The asymmetry arises in neutrino oscillations. Neutrino oscillations is the phenomenon whereby electron-neutrinos will transform into muon-neutrinos/tau-neutrinos and vice versa over spacetime. For example, if we start out with an electron-neutrino, its state will vary following a pattern like the graph below:

Neutrino oscillation occurs as their weak eigenstate is not equal to their mass eigenstate. Thus a neutrino produced under some weak eigenstate can be measured as a different weak eigenstate after travelling some distance as a mass eigenstate. This mixing is described by the PMNS matrix. The T2K experiment finds that the neutrino oscillation rate and probability differs for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. It's a small effect, but nonetheless 2-sigma above the noise level.
