QCD predicts that with increasing temperature, hadronic matter will undergo a transition to a state of deconfined quarks and gluons. High energy nuclear collision experiments aim to study this deconfinement transition and the resulting quark-gluon plasma. We discuss recent theoretical developments in the study of different aspects of the medium produced in such collisions and compare them to the latest SPS and RHIC data.
