Combustion-generated soot particles are a significant pollutant affecting human health and environment. The soot nucleation, which delineates the transition from the gas phase to the solid phase, remains the least understood step in the process of soot formation, despite the great number of experimental, theoretical and numerical studies. The purpose of this lecture is to give an overview of the advances, recently achieved, which contribute to a much better understanding of the soot nucleation
