Biophysics is a branch of science that uses the methods of physics to study biological processes. It applies mathematical laws of physics to gain insight into biological organisms and systems. Some areas of focus in biophysics include protein folding, structure-function relationships of proteins, and thermodynamics of biological systems. Biophysicists have organized themselves into the Biophysical Society since 1957, though the field has been studied since the 1840s.

Biophysics is about biological system. They are similar to biochemistry and
molecular biology. They are included of DNA, RNA and protein biosynthesis. Biophysics is when science deals with matter and energy.
Biophysics is a branch of science that uses the methods of physics to study
biological processes. Physics uses mathematical laws to explain the natural world, and it can be applied to biological organisms and systems to gain insight into their workings. Research in biophysics has helped prevent and treat disease, advance drug development, and create technology to allow humans to live more sustainably and protect the changing environment. Beginning: Since 1957 biophysicists have organized themselves into Biophysical Society which now about 9000 members over the world. In 1840s, biophysics were studied by Hermann von Helmholtz, Ernst Heinrich Weber, Carl F.W. Ludwig and Johannes Peter Müller.
Middle: Dr. George D. Rose holds a joint appointment in biophysics and
biophysical chemistry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is the Krieger-Eisenhower Professor Emeritus in the Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences at Johns Hopkins. His research focuses on protein folding. His team is currently studying the spontaneous disorder order transition that occurs in proteins under certain physiological conditions.Dr. Rose received his undergraduate degree in mathematics in 1963 from Bard College. He earned his M.S. in mathematics and computer science from Oregon State University in 1972, and his Ph.D. In biochemistry and biophysics from Oregon State University in 1976. Prior to joining Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rose was Alumni Endowed Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. From 1991-92, he was a professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. From 1980-91 he was distinguished professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the M.S. Hershey Medical Center of The Pennsylvania State University. Present: Bertrand García-Moreno is a Professor of Biophysics and of Biology in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and Chair of the Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics. He received his AB in Biochemistry from Bowdoin College and his PhD in Chemistry under Frank Gurd’s supervision at Indiana University, Bloomington. He completed postdoctoral training with Gary Ackers in the Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins and in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. His research group studies biothermodynamics and several problems in structure-function relationships of proteins using a variety of experimental and computational approaches It is use to create new devices for use in medicine, robotics and fields of nanotechnology.Computerized axial tomography (CAT scan) is an X-ray technique in which a three-dimensional image of a body part is put together by computer using a series of X-ray pictures taken from different angles along a straight line. The nature and qualities of light can be interpreted in more ways, according to classic, relativistic or quantum physics. However, the basic nature of light itself as either a particle/corpuscular or an electromagnetic/wave mechanism cannot be understood by our senses and it is incomparable to any other level of reality. Therefore, we can only accept conclusions and deductions based on numerous experiments.
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) : A TEM works by sending the beam of
electrons through a very thin specimen. So rather than scanning over and bouncing off, the electrons pass through the sample to create a highly detailed two- dimensional image. Since the TEM allows for such incredible interior detail, they're often used in medical research and nanotechnology.
