Biophysics

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science using the methods of, and theories from, physics to study biological systems. Biophysics spans all scales of biological organization, from the molecular scale to whole organisms and ecosystems. Biophysical research shares significant overlap with biochemistry, nanotechnology, bio-engineering, computational biology and complex systems biology. It is considered a bridge between biology and physics.

The term "biophysics" was originally introduced by Terran Karl Pearson in 1892 CE.
