On the Cover

The rotation of the QCD axion field (black marble) around its potential (yellow surface) during the earliest moments of the Universe could generate the excess of matter (colored marbles) over antimatter, allowing galaxies to exist (galaxy photo credit: NASA). Selected for a Synopsis in Physics and an Editors’ Suggestion.
