Biophysics

Definition of Biophysics as it relates to Science, Physics, Fluid Mechanics

Biophysics, as part of Fluid Mechanics within Physics and Science, is an interdisciplinary field that applies physical principles to understand biological systems. It focuses on understanding how living organisms, cells, and biomolecules move and interact with their environment using fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. By integrating these concepts, biophysicists investigate various phenomena such as blood flow in arteries, cell motility, and protein folding, ultimately shedding light on the fundamental mechanisms governing life at multiple scales. In this context, Biophysics bridges the gap between physics and biology, offering insights into both realms and enabling a deeper understanding of the complex systems found in nature.
