One of the key goals in exploring the properties of QCD matter is to determine the minimum value of the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio (η/s) for an ideal fluid.

The large centre-of-mass energy and luminosity of the LHC have made possible the first measurements of electroweak-boson production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.
Read article 'ALICE closes in on parton energy loss'
In Pb-Pb collisions, the spectra are modified by the energy loss that the partons suffer when propagating in the quark-gluon plasma.

The TOTEM collaboration at CERN has uncovered possible evidence for a subatomic three-gluon compound called an odderon, first predicted in 1973.
Read article 'ALICE puts limits on jet quenching in p–Pb collisions'
What are the essential requirements for the formation of a quark–gluon plasma? Do only the most violent, head-on lead–lead (Pb–Pb) interactions at the LHC provide such conditions?
Read article 'ALICE investigates charm-quark hadronisation'
These two results suggest that charmed baryon formation might not be universal, and that the baryon/meson ratio depends on the collision system.
