How to fast process a calculation within a matrix without using a loop?

I have a huge matrix A, and what i need to do is to go through each of the matrix element and do this below simple calculation:
[m n] = size(A);
for i=1:m
for j=1:n
B(i,j) = 10^-A(i,j);
end
end
The thing is that it is slow. Is there a way I can avoid the loop and make it faster?
Thank you!

Thank you. What does this do?
It is likely my data might contain NaNs.
Whenever the size of an array increases, Matlab has to create a copy in memory. This takes a lot of time if you repeat that very often. Your original code would cause the output to be extended m+n-1 times.
Pre-allocation would solve this issue by creating an array in advance of the correct size. If array processing is not possible, it is generally worth it to pre-allocate the output array.

Yes, use the power of array processing in Matlab:
B=10.^-A;

Many thanks!
Will that be a problem, if my data also contains NaNs?
It will do the same as your loop for NaN values, so the B matrix will contain NaN everywhere where A has a NaN.
