Open heavy-flavour production in nuclear collisions

In these proceedings I will give an overview of the latest experimental results on charm and beauty production at RHIC and the LHC presented at the Quark Matter 2018 conference. The new measurements in p(d)-A collisions have a key impact in the understanding of possible collective effects of heavy quarks in small collision systems. In A-A collisions, new high-precision data and differential observables offer more quantitative ways to investigate different aspects of the interactions of heavy quarks in the Quark Gluon Plasma, like transport properties, energy loss distributions, hadronisation mechanisms, and magnetic effects.
