biophysics
n.
branch of science concerned with the application of physical methods and principles to biological problems
Biophysics
Biophysics (also biological physics) is an
interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of
physics to questions of
biology.Biophysics research today is comprised of a lot of specific biological studies, which don't share a unique identifying factor, nor subject themselves to clear and concise definitions. The studies included under the umbrella of biophysics range from
sequence analysis to
neural networks. In the past, biophysics included creating mechanical limbs and nanomachines to regulate biological functions. Today, these are more commonly referred to as belonging to the fields of
bioengineering and
nanotechnology respectively.
