Biophysics: Understanding Physics of Life Sciences and Medicine

The interdisciplinary field of science that uses methods and approaches of physics to the study of biological phenomena is known as biophysics. It is concerned with the study of physical quantities such as stress, electric current, entropy and temperature in biological systems. The field uses a variety of techniques such as fluorescent imaging techniques, X-ray crystallography, atomic force microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, small angle scattering and electron microscopy. Biophysics is closely l...
