  The ALICE experiment at the LHC has collected wealthy data in proton-proton
and lead-lead collisions. An overview of recent ALICE results is given in this
paper. Hadron spectra measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=0.9$, 2.76 and 7
TeV are discussed. Properties of hot nuclear matter produced in Pb-Pb
collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV, revealed via many observables measured
with the ALICE experiment, are shown.
