The NOvA collaboration has release their first results taken from data using an anti-neutrino beam. The anti-neutrino result shows strong evidence that anti-neutrinos oscillate in a manner similar to neutrinos. A total of 18 electron anti-neutrinos were detected compared to a prediction of 5 if anti-neutrinos did not oscillate. Determining any differences in the way the neutrinos and anti-neutrinos oscillate may lead to an understanding of way our universe looks and functions.
