All JournalsPhysics Magazine

APS publishes a number of journals that feature the study of biological phenomena using physical approaches and investigations into the physical principles and mechanisms by which living organisms survive, adapt, and grow. The richness of life science phenomena gives biological physics a very broad scope, from answering fundamental questions about life to advancing the biomedical sciences by developing new drugs and diagnostics equipment.

Below are a selection of articles from the Physical Review journals that feature biophysical research.
