In this talk, I will report recent progress from the RHIC beam energy scan program and the status of the search for the QCD critical point. Physics issues on thermalization in high-energy collisions, high-order correlations and hyper-nuclei production at high baryon density will be the focus of the discussion. Finally, physics potentials with new experiments and future facilities will be addressed.
