Description
I will describe two recent results in the string description of strongly coupled gauge theory plasmas. The first one is a new mechanism whereby a quark loses energy by Cherenkov-radiating mesons in the plasma. The second is a gravity solution dual to the N=4 SYM plasma in an anisotropic state. I will discuss implications of these results for heavy-ion collision experiments.
