  Expanded Biophysics Coverage
Starting with the first issue of Vol. 95 in July 2009, Applied Physics Letters will expand the existing “Applied Biophysics” Section to cover new contributions on Bio-inspired Systems - a fascinating field that emerges from both advanced understanding of biomolecular principles and innovations in modern technology. The new Section Heading in the Table of Contents will be:

37 - BIOPHYSICS AND BIO-INSPIRED SYSTEMS.

Grouped in this section, in addition to the usual manuscripts on Applied Biophysics, will be original experimental and theoretical research articles on the physics and design of novel structures, smart materials, and functional devices based on inspiring biological processes or biomimetics, for the studies of bioelectronics, biomagnetics, and biomechanics, and for potential applications in biosensing, energy conversion, pattern recognition, and signal processing, etc.

Nanosecond switching in GeTe phase change memory cells

G. Bruns, P. Merkelbach, C. Schlockermann, M. Salinga, M. Wuttig, T. D. Happ, J. B. Philipp, and M. Kund

The electrical switching behavior of GeTe-based phase change memory devices is characterized by time resolved experiments. Using GeTe or materials with similar crystal growth velocities, promises nonvolatile phase change memories with dynamic random access memorylike switching speeds.
