Biophysics

Definition of Biophysics as it relates to Science, Neuroscience, Astrophysics

Biophysics, as part of Astrophysics within the Science/Neuroscience/Astrophysics hierarchy, studies the physical principles that govern biological systems. It applies the theories and methods of physics to understand the behavior of living organisms and their components, such as cells, proteins, and DNA. Biophysics can help explain how these systems function and interact with each other and their environment, providing insights into complex phenomena like neuronal communication, muscle contraction, and genetic regulation. By uncovering the fundamental physical laws that underlie biological processes, biophysics contributes to our understanding of life and its evolution while also offering practical applications in fields like medicine, bioengineering, and environmental science.
