We present recent results from the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Searches for the top quark have established a lower bound of M{sub top}> 91 GeV/c2 (at 95% confidence level). A measurement of B{sup o}{bar B}{sup o} mixing has been obtained from b{bar b} 2!e[mu], ee events. Measurements of b-quark production have been obtained from e + X events and J/[psi] + K events. The mass of the W boson has been determined to be M{sub W} = 79.91 {plus minus} 0.39 GeV/c2. In searching for new gauge bosons, we have obtained the bounds M{sub Z{prime}}> 412 GeV/c2 and M{sub W{prime}}> 520 GeV/c2 (at 95% C.L.). The lower limits on the quark and lepton compositeness scales are 1.4 TeV. In the next two years of data collection, we expect significantly more events for numerous types of physics, due to 25 times more beam luminosity, and improvement to the detector. In the longer term, the Main Injector'' upgrade to the accelerator, further improvements to the detector are being planned to exploit the potentials for physics. We discuss prospects for the discovery of the top quark, precise measurement of properties of b quark, and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model. 29 refs.
