Abstract
Twenty years after they were first introduced, quantum wavefunctions scarred on classically unstable structures continue to appear in new and surprising contexts. Starting from the photoelectric effect in ultra-strong fields, the manuscript briefly reviews some of these and suggests a motivation for a more general understanding of this quantum phenomenon.
