Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we review recent highlights in heavy-ion collisions and proton–proton collisions at top energies from STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) with key contributions from Chinese groups, including the quark–gluon plasma bulk properties, electromagnetic probes, heavy flavor and jets, antimatter hyper-nucleus, nuclear structure, global polarization, and nucleon spin structure. These data serve as important ingredients in the physics of quantum chromodynamics.
