N2 - This Perspective looks back on 25+ years of research on nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation (NPLIN), focusing in particular on the accidental discovery of the phenomenon, a discussion of the three proposed mechanisms for NPLIN, the application of microfluidics to the study of NPLIN, industrial application of NPLIN, and the future of NPLIN. It also discusses the recent finding that high pressure suppresses NPLIN, and how this finding provides the strongest evidence to date for the impurity heating mechanism for NPLIN.
