The article"Snapshots of laser wakefields" appeared in the Physics Update section of Physics Today 59, 28 (December 2006). The article featured work on visualization of laser wakefield structures by our group published in Matlis et al., "Snapshots of laser wakefields," Nature Physics 2, 749 (2006) and Maksimchuk et al.,Physics of Plasmas 15, 056703 (2008), including a picture from that work.

Describes a recent bond model of optical second-harmonic generation from semiconductor interfaces developed by Prof. Dave Aspnes (North Carolina State U.).  The article notes "Stimulus for [Aspnes'} investigation came from work by Professor Michael Downer's group at the University of Texas at Austin. Downer's group examined silicon nanospheres in glass and reported considerable enhancement of SHG signals.

The article "Laser Particle Accelerator:  its Principle and Future" by Prof. Yoneyoshi Kitagawa appeared in the Japanese journal "Kogaku" ("Optics"), the principle Japanese optics magazine.  The article prominently featured work on visualization of laser wakefield structures by our group published in Matlis et al., "Snapshots of laser wakefields," Nature Physics 2, 749 (2006), including pictures from that work. 

One of the "snapshots" of laser wakefields from our work Matlis et al., "Snapshots of laser wakefields," Nature Physics 2, 749 (2006) was published with permission in the new book "The Plasma Universe" (Cambridge University Press 2008).
