The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is a ring-like accumulation of molecular gas in the innermost few hundred parsecs of the Milky Way, generated by the inward transport of matter driven by the Galactic bar. The CMZ is the most extreme star-forming environment in the Galaxy. The unique combination of large-scale dynamics and extreme interstellar medium conditions, characterised by high densities, temperatures, pressures, turbulent motions, and strong magnetic fields, make the CMZ an ideal region for testing current star and planet formation theories. We review the recent observational and theoretical advances in the field, and combine these to draw a comprehensive, multi-scale and multi-physics picture of the cycle of matter and energy in the context of star formation in the closest galactic nucleus.

From nuclear star clusters to Little Red Dots: black hole growth, mergers, and tidal disruptions
A semi-analytic model shows dense early star clusters can grow 1000-solar-mass black hole seeds to ~10^7 solar masses within ~100 million years, predicting tens of tidal disruptions per year from Little Red Dots at z=4-6.

Extreme cloud collisions in nearby barred galaxies
Extended velocity features, broad-lined molecular clouds in bar dust lanes, are detected in 34% of nearby barred galaxies and are consistent with high-speed cloud-cloud collisions.

Circum-nuclear eccentric gas flow in the Galactic Center revealed by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)
The high-velocity cloud G0.02 near the Galactic Center is better explained as gas on an eccentric orbit around the central mass than as a supernova remnant, based on new ALMA observations.

Properties of $\mathrm{H_2O}$ masers and their associated sources in Sagittarius B2
A 499-maser VLA census of Sagittarius B2 classifies water masers into outflow, young star, and HII region populations, and finds outflow masers stay within 2000 au of their driving source.

How Should We Understand the Core Mass Function? A memo of the CMF2IMF conference at ESO Garching
The high-mass slope of the core mass function depends strongly on the minimum fitting mass: completeness-based fits look top-heavy, while KS-selected tail fits move toward Salpeter, and the early-stage ASHES sample ap...
