Abstract
Measurements of particle electric dipole moments (EDMs) continue to put pow erful constraints on theories of T-symmetry and CP-symmetry violation, whic h form currently one of the most prominent fields in particle physics. EDM measurements have been concentrated on neutral systems such as the neutron and atoms and molecules. These measurements allow one to deduce, in turn, t he electric dipole moments of the fundamental fermions, that is, the lighte r leptons and quarks and also those of some heavy nuclei.
