Loops may be considered the building blocks of the solar corona. Understanding their heating and dynamics becomes extremely important to solve the heating problem in the full corona.
The debate on weather steady or impulsive heating (such as envisioned by the nanoflares scenario) should be considered as the dominant heating process in loops, is still lively in the solar community.
From the observational point of view, key elements to progress on the understanding of the corona are the correct interpretation of the observational data together with precise measurements. Limitations are often present because of the finite resolution of the instruments, their limited temperature coverage and the fact that we are dealing with optically thin plasma when observing the corona. In spite of such limitations, considerable progress has been made in the past years. Results obtained in the past decades are now strengthened by the new observations from the Hinode and STEREO missions.
This talk will show and discuss new observational results that address selected aspects as key elements to understand the physics of loops. These include:
The monolithic vs. multi-thread configurations. Can we resolve the elemental coronal loop?;
Flows and dynamics. New exciting results from SOHO and Hinode.
Loops and active region thermal structures. Do we have a complete map of them?
I will conclude by briefing introducing the last efforts in the 3D loops reconstruction: a further essential element to help solving the complex phenomenon of the loops heating and dynamics.
