AI Thread Summary
Biophysics is the application of physics principles to biological systems, often requiring a strong foundation in both physics and biology. For graduate studies in biophysics, it is advisable to major in one of these fields while minoring in the other. The discussion also touches on the relevance of linear and abstract algebra to biophysics research, though the connection is not explicitly detailed. Various projects in a biophysics lab can encompass a wide range of topics, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the field. Overall, a solid educational background in physics and biology is essential for pursuing a career in biophysics.

"Biophysics" is physics specifically applied to biology. I would recommend majoring in either physics or biology and minoring in the other.

Why was this posted under "Linear and Abstract Algebra"?
 
Lets say I'm in a "biophysics" lab and could be working on any number of projects, what could a few of them be?

And how.

I couldn't decide between "General Physics" and "General Discussion", so I flipped a coin and here we are.
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
