Biophysics

Description

Scientists are developing broad, rapidly increasing connections between biology and physics. See how basic research in this rapidly-emerging field is helping scientists better understand how viruses self-assemble, and may eventually lead to new cures for disease. Clinical applications available today include cancer therapy, which uses the technology developed for earlier generations of particle accelerators to create precisely-controlled beams of high-energy protons that can attack tumors with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.
