Explorations in nuclear physics over the past forty years have significantly advanced our understanding of matter under extreme conditions. Studies at various energy scales, from the AGS to the LHC, have not only confirmed the existence of QGP but also initiated its detailed and meticulous characterization. Progress in detector technology has been pivotal, from streamer chambers to TPCs and cutting-edge silicon detectors, which have enabled precise tracking and particle identification. Despite these advancements, many questions about the QGP properties and the QCD phase diagram remain unanswered. Making progress in these areas provides motivation for continued research utilizing both existing and upcoming accelerator facilities and experimental setups. This paper provides a succinct summary of the present state of accelerator and detector facilities, the progress of ongoing projects, and a perspective on future facilities and detector projects in this domain.
