Over the last several years, there has been a growing interest in ultrafast, intense-laser driven processes in solids. Recent high harmonic generation (HHG) experiments in dielectrics [1] and in semiconductors [2] have revealed ways to transfer attosecond technology from atomic gases to solids. This has given birth to attosecond condensed matter physics. Further, experiments on intense laser...

Recent experiments with the highly magnetic atoms [dysprosium][1] and [erbium][2] have revealed the formation of a novel form of ultra-dilute stable droplets in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). This surprising result has been explained by the stabilization given by quantum fluctuations.

In recent scattering experiments [1,2], high-intensity, short-duration, electromagnetic pulses were scattered off dielectric liquids such as water and carbon tetrachloride. The observed pattern of the scattered light led the authors to propose a theory, based on single-particle, classical electromagnetic scattering, that there was magnetic dipole radiation generated. They called this...
