Explaining why the universe contains more matter than antimatter remains a compelling open problem in physics. The Standard Model of particle physics cannot provide an explanation. Among the most interesting and testable scenarios involving “new physics” are those that entail generation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry asymmetry ~10 picoseconds after the Big Bang. I discuss recent theoretical ideas for such scenarios and prospects for experimental tests.
