By colliding heavy ions, such as lead ions, the LHC recreates conditions similar to those just after the Big Bang. This allows scientists to study the quark-gluon plasma(QGP), a state of matter in which quarks and gluons are not confned within protons and neutrons. These studies provide valuable insights into the strong force and the behavior of the early universe. In this paper, we present a comprehensive overview of recent signifcant fndings from A Large Ion Collider Experiment(ALICE) at the LHC. The topics covered include measurements related to the properties of the QGP, particle production, fow and correlations, dileptons, quarkonia, and electromagnetic probes, heavy favor, and jets. Additionally, we introduce future plans for detector upgrades in the ALICE experiment.展开更多
