First mapping of the QCD critical surface in full (T, μ_B, μ_Q, μ_S) space via constant-entropy expansion gives a critical point at (114, 602) MeV in the pure baryon direction, with μ_B,c shifting 40-100 MeV in strangeness-neutral directions while remaining similar in charge-neutral ones.

First measurements of pT correlations in Au+Au collisions at 3-7.7 GeV reveal non-monotonic energy dependence in central events with 5 sigma significance, breaking 1/sqrt(N_part) scaling.
Including Fierz-complete four-quark interactions in fRG-QCD shifts the predicted critical endpoint to (T, μ_B) = (102, 647) MeV and slightly increases the phase boundary curvature to κ₂ = 0.0151, while confirming σ and π channels dominate except near the CEP.
The MUSES Calliope engine computes multi-dimensional QCD equations of state, merges them consistently, and feeds them into viscous hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions with movable critical points and critical scaling in transport coefficients.
A review of lattice QCD findings on the finite-temperature QCD transition at zero baryon chemical potential, its chiral limit behavior, constraints on the phase boundary and critical endpoint at finite density, plus advances under external fields and conditions.
Recent net-proton cumulant ratios from RHIC BES-II data are compared to non-critical models from Lattice QCD, HRG, hydrodynamics and UrQMD, with volume fluctuation effects noted at fixed-target energies.
