EPJE Special Issue on "The Physics of Glasses"
The European Physical Journal E - Soft Matter is publishing a special issue on physics of glasses to collect research reports on some of these exciting investigations. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to): universal aspects of slow dynamics and the glass transition; structure and structural change, dynamical heterogeneity, fragility, jamming, aging, and their interrelationship; the role of growing structural and dynamical length scales in determining slow dynamics; glass formability and suppression of crystallization in multi-component systems; glassy rheology, response of glasses to mechanical stresses near and below the glass transition, plasticity and failure.
Guest Editors: Michael Falk, Takeshi Egami, Srikanth Sastry

EPJD Special Issue on "Hybrid Quantum Systems – New Perspectives on Quantum State Control"
Hybrid quantum systems provide unique possibilities for studying novel quantum effects at the interface between distinct forms of matter, such as ultracold quantum gases, electronic nanostructures and micromechanical components. This issue will act as a reference point for future research, describing the state-of-the-art of hybrid quantum systems and defining perspectives for future developments of such devices. The purpose of this issue is to collect original contributions from all experts in the field, particularly – but not exclusively – from the participants of the Ruperto-Carola-Symposium on “Hybrid Quantum Systems” taking place in Heidelberg from 12 to 15 May 2010 (conference website: http://www.thphys.uni-heidelberg.de/~paul/Hybrid.html).

EPJD Special Issue on "Microplasmas: Scientific Challenges and Technological Opportunities"
EPJD is soliciting manuscripts to be published in a Topical Issue devoted to "Microplasmas: Scientific Challenges and Technological Opportunities". The guest editors are seeking original research papers of the highest quality. The main emphasis will be on papers that advance our basic scientific understanding of microplasmas. Papers reporting applications of microplasmas are also accepted as long as they also provide some insight into the underlying plasma science. Papers that purely describe applications of microplasmas will not be accepted.
