Physical Biology
Overview
Physical Biology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the intersection of physics and biology. It publishes research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore the physical principles underlying biological phenomena, ranging from molecular and cellular processes to complex biological systems. The journal aims to foster interdisciplinary collaborations and advance our understanding of the fundamental principles governing life.
