Biological physics is clearly becoming one of the leading sciences of the 21st century. This field involves the cross-fertilization of ideas and methods from biology and biochemistry on the one hand and the physics of complex and far from equilibrium systems on the other. Here I want to discuss how biological physics is a new area of physics and not simply applications of known physics to biological problems. I will focus in particular on the new advances in theoretical physics that are already flourishing today. They will become central pieces in the creation of this new frontier of science.
生物物理学显然正在成为21世纪的主导科学之一。该领域一方面涉及生物学和生物化学的思想与方法的交叉融合，另一方面涉及复杂和远离平衡态系统的物理学。在这里，我想讨论生物物理学如何是物理学的一个新领域，而不仅仅是将已知物理学应用于生物学问题。我将特别关注当今已经蓬勃发展的理论物理学的新进展。它们将成为创建这一科学新前沿的核心要素。
