Elsevier Ltd Recent developments in open heavy-flavour physics: ALICE highlights 2025 3 p Elsevier Ltd Recent progress in open heavy-flavour physics has enhanced our understanding of charm and beauty quark behaviour in the hot and dense medium created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The ALICE experiment at the LHC has played a leading role, delivering precision measurements that probe the Quark–Gluon plasma (QGP). This contribution presents recent ALICE highlights on heavy-quark production, energy loss, and hadronization in Pb–Pb collisions, with additional insights from proton–proton and proton–Pb systems. Key results on transport properties and hadronization mechanisms will be discussed, along with an outlook on upcoming ALICE upgrades and future research directions. publication Elsevier 2025 For annual report SzGeCERN Particle Physics - Experiment Elsevier Ltd Open heavy flavour Elsevier Ltd Quark–Gluon plasma Elsevier Ltd ALICE experiment ARTICLE CERN CERN LHC ALICE ALICE Collaboration 100140 publication J.
