Biophysics is a field that mixes physics and biology. It uses ideas from physics to understand how living things work, from tiny molecules to whole organisms. Biophysics has many uses. It helps us learn how life works and find new treatments and technologies. For example, biophysicists study proteins to make new medicines. They also use special imaging tools to find diseases and create new materials inspired by nature.
