A new kind of neutrino? (sciencedaily.com)

Latest results from the Mini-BOONE project at Fermilab suggest the existence of a previously undetected form of neutrino, and also asymmetry between matter and antimatter ("CP symmetry violation").

Could turn out to be wrong, of course, but it would need changes to the Standard Model if it were right.
