abstract
Extensions of nuclear physics to the strange sector are reviewed, covering data and models of Lambda and other hypernuclei, multi-strange matter, and anti-kaon bound states and condensation. Past achievements are highlighted, present unresolved problems discussed, and future directions outlined.

Bayesian analysis of astrophysical and laboratory data favors the two-families scenario of coexisting hadronic and strange quark stars over the one-family scenario.
New precision v2 measurements show NCQ scaling holds for multi-strange hadrons down to 7.7 GeV, supporting partonic origin of elliptic flow with minimal late-stage distortion.
Non-thermal production via late-decaying reheatons can achieve the observed dark matter density for sexaquarks by controlling branching fractions and coalescence probabilities, unlike thermal freeze-out which underproduces them by many orders of magnitude.
Hypertriton yields and Lambda ratios increase at lower collision energies but remain a factor of two below thermal models, while the double ratio to triton production stays constant at 0.4, pointing to intrinsically lower coalescence probability.
Isospin breaking splits threshold cusps in ΛN-ΣN scattering into constrained structures whose relative sharpness or type can change, as shown via K-matrix classification and N²LO chiral EFT calculations.
Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.
Hypertriton production yield in LHC pp collisions, described by nuclear coalescence, confirms its halo structure with a Lambda separation of 9.54 fm from the deuteron core.
Including hyperons reduces maximum neutron-star mass by 0.05-0.10 solar masses and increases radius at 1.4 solar masses by 0.5-0.8 km across all models while keeping every equation of state consistent with the 2-solar-mass limit.
Systematic scan of ΛNN and ΛΛN three-body force parameters in Skyrme EDF for beta-equilibrated hyperonic matter, TOV branch classification, and Bayesian analysis with XGBoost-SHAP on NS mass-radius constraints.
Realistic nuclear cluster wave functions show broader spatial distributions and non-Gaussian structures than Gaussian ansätze with matching rms radius, suggesting a mechanism to address underestimation of A=4 cluster production.
