Biophysics is an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles and methods of physics to understand the mechanics of biological systems. From the molecular forces driving protein folding to the electrical dynamics of neurons and the mechanical properties of cells and tissues, biophysics bridges the gap between biology and physics to uncover how life operates at every scale. Research in this area not only deepens our fundamental grasp of living systems but also drives innovations in medicine, biotechnology, and environmental science.
