Throwing physics at biology to find out what sticks


The laws of physics set limits within which life evolved. Within these confines, life uses physical phenomena to its advantage. Since life has had so much time to master physics, why not learn physics from life?

I am interested in observing and quantifying biology in order to understand how it uses physics. What new physics can biology teach us?
