Recent results from the RHIC facility and first measurements from the ALICE experiment at the CERN-Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on open heavy-flavour are presented. We focus on RHIC measurements of single electrons and jetlike heavy-flavour particle correlations. First D meson signals from 7 TeV proton-proton collisions from ALICE are discussed. Next-to-leading-order QCD processes, such as gluon splitting, become important at LHC energies and its contribution can be accesses by the measurement of the charm content in jets.
