The NA62 experiment at CERN is the worlds leading K+ laboratory, with the primary goal of studying the ultra-rare decay K+ --> pi+ nu nu. In the last few years several key upgrades have been implemented giving improved performance for our currently ongoing data-taking campaign.
In this colloquium I will introduce the NA62 experiment and this golden decay mode, K+ --> pi+ nu nu, and the latest news on the analysis status. NA62 has a broad physics programme and I will also present the latest results from across our research programme, including hot-off-the-press rare and forbidden K+ decay searches.
