In Memoriam: Jules Routbort
 We are saddened to report the sudden passing of APL Senior Associate Editor, Jules L. Routbort. Dr. Routbort joined the Journal as an Associate Editor in 1992, and became Senior Associate Editor in 2008, in concurrence with his regular research work as a Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory. In his 20-year dedicated service to the Journal, he efficiently shepherded thousands of submitted papers through the peer-review system and constantly strived to maintain high standards of APL publications. His judgment was always fair and firm. The American Institute of Physics joins the entire APL community in honoring Dr. Routbort’s legacy of excellence.

Research Highlights
 X-ray pulse preserving single-shot optical cross-correlation method for improved experimental temporal resolution
M. Beye, O. Krupin, G. Hays, A. H. Reid, D. Rupp, S. de Jong, S. Lee, W.-S. Lee, Y.-D. Chuang, R. Coffee, J. P. Cryan, J. M. Glownia, A. Föhlisch, M. R. Holmes, A. R. Fry, W. E. White, C. Bostedt, A. O. Scherz, H. A. Durr, and W. F. Schlotter
The authors measured the relative arrival time between an optical pulse and a soft x-ray pulse from a free-electron laser. These time resolution of pump-probe experiments at LCLS were improved at least by a factor of two to 130 fs (FWHM). The results achieved with this method present a clear path toward temporal resolutions below 100 fs.
 Electric field effects in low resistance CoFeB-MgO magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular anisotropy
H. Meng, R. Sbiaa, M. A. K. Akhtar, R. S. Liu, V. B. Naik, and C. C. Wang
Investigations the electric field effects in low resistance perpendicular magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices found that the electric field can effectively reduce the coercivity (Hc) of free layer (FL) by 30% for a bias voltage (Vb) of –0.2V. This is in in contrast to a much less sensitive of Hc to Vb for the reference layer (RL). The authors argue these findings are be important for memory technologies.
 Flexible solid-state paper based carbon nanotube supercapacitor
Shan Hu, Rajesh Rajamani, and Xun Yu
A flexible solid-state supercapacitor of high energy density is developed using single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT)-coated cotton paper as electrodes and solid-state PVA/phosphoric acid as electrolyte. According to the authors, the performance is comparable to that of commercial supercapacitor and offer several significant advantages for use in hybrid electric vehicles.
