Nature has a way of finding optimal solutions to complex problems. For example, despite the billions of ways for a single protein to fold, proteins always fold in a way that minimizes potential energy ...

Physics of life Biological physics concerns the use of physics to study biological systems such as folding proteins, the dynamics of viruses or the organized movement of animals (Courtesy: ...

Physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have demonstrated a dual-frequency Paul trap capable of confining both heavy ions and light electrons in the same device, a technical step that could ...
