History

• The journal was created in the spring of 2009 as an equal partnership between the International Union for Pure and Applied Biophysics and Springer.刊物于 2009 年春由国际纯粹与应用生物物理联合会与（Springer）以对等合作方式创办。
• It replaced Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics as the official journal of the union.它取代《生物物理季评》成为该联合会的会刊。
• Jean Garnier served as founding chief editor from 2009 to 2013, followed by Cristobal dos Remedios from 2014 to 2018.（Jean Garnier）于 2009 至 2013 年担任创始主编，其后由（Cristobal dos Remedios）于 2014 至 2018 年接任。
• The journal is the single publishing instrument of the union and also promotes the internationalisation of biophysical science.刊物是该联合会唯一的出版载体，并同时推动生物物理科学的国际化。
• It regularly publishes special collections with global authorship and awards the Michèle Auger Award for Young Scientists' Independent Research.刊物定期出版作者遍布全球的专门合集，并颁发米歇尔·奥杰青年科学家独立研究奖。
• Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.0, after 3.7 in 2024.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.0，此前 2024 年为 3.7。
