    "abstract": "A unified approach to the calculation of dispersive forces on ground-state\nbodies and atoms is given. It is based on the ground-state Lorentz force\ndensity acting on the charge and current densities attributed to the\npolarization and magnetization in linearly, locally, and causally responding\nmedia. The theory is applied to dielectric macro- and micro-objects, including\nsingle atoms. Existing formulas valid for weakly polarizable matter are\ngeneralized to allow also for strongly polarizable matter. In particular when\nmicro-objects can be regarded as single atoms, well-known formulas for the\nCasimir-Polder force on atoms and the van der Waals interaction between atoms\nare recovered. It is shown that the force acting on medium atoms--in contrast\nto isolated atoms--is in general screened by the other medium atoms.",
