Abstract: In the present work, we attempt a brief summary of various areas where nonlinear waves have been emerging in the phenomenology of lattice dynamical systems. These areas include nonlinear optics, atomic physics, mechanical systems, electrical lattices, nonlinear metamaterials, plasma dynamics and granular crystals. We give some of the recent developments in each one of these areas and speculate on some of the potentially interesting directions for future study.
