Ha ha ha. The question is weird unless you are referring to something specific in physics. Otherwiss,\n\nLike Patient who lies down on bed, remains on bed because of gravity :)\nOr Simple stuff like - the stethoscope lets you hear the heart beat because of physical principals of sound movement.

Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It combines the expertise of engineering with medical needs to improve healthcare. It is a less known discipline than other specialties such as electrical engineering or mechanical engineering. An increasing number of universities with an engineering faculty now have a biomedical engineering program or department from the undergraduate to the doctorate level. Traditionally, biomedical engineering has been an interdisciplinary field to specialize in after completing an undergraduate degree in a more traditional discipline of engineering or science, however undergraduate programs are becoming more widespread.\n\nResearch and development is the most common line of work for biomedical engineers and covers a very wide array of fields: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, systems analysis, 3-D modeling, etc. Examples of concrete applications of biomedical engineering are the development and manufacture of prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices and imaging equipement, laboratory equipment, drugs and other therapies as well as the application of engineering principles to biological science problems.\n\nClinical engineering is a branch of biomedical engineering for professionals responsible of the management of medical equipment in a hospital. The tasks of a clinical engineer are typically the acquisition and management of medical device inventory, supervising biomedical engineering technicians (BMETs), ensuring that safety and regulatory issues are taken into consideration and serving as a technological consultant for any issues in a hospital where medical devices are concerned. Clinical engineers work closely with the IT department and medical physicists.\n\nBiomedical engineers usually require degrees from recognized universities, and sound knowledge of engineering and human anatomy and physiology. Their jobs often pay well (ranging from US $50,000 to $100,000 per year in 2005). Though the number of biomedical engineers is currently low (under 10,000), the number is expected to rise as modern medicine improves. Universities are now improving their biomedical engineering courses because interest in the field is increasing.

Medical studies discovered pretty much all vaccines.  Psychological studies help treat people with disorders. Medicine in general is a big one. \nChemists have figured out how to wipe out grease from our dishes and how to use it in our automobiles.  Facial products from cleansers to moisturizers.  Even some things we eat have been developed by chemists.\nIt really depends on what brach of science you are looking at, but every branch has something to offer to society.

1. The most common application of electromagnetism is something you see in every day life: Electric Motors. \nEvery electric motor (except some special purpose motots that have permanent magnets in them) use electromagnets called "poles" to produce north-south attraction forces to move the shaft.\n\n2. MagLev Trains: these trains use powerful magnets to levitate the train carriage to keep friction minimal. the magnets used are electromagnets\n\n3. Another useful application of electromagnetism is a CAT Scan machine. It is used in hospitals to scan and diagnose disease. Some parts of the body experience electrical currents. The stronger the current, the stronger the magnetic field. Advanced machines and scanning technology allow us :to pick up the magnetic fields; and identify where there is a higher frequency of electrical activity. \n\n4. electromagnetic Cranes are user to lift cars and metallic parts.\n\n5. umm cant think of nything else right now :)

Physics is an attempt to describe the physical universe. Physics is involved in all physical phenomena. Ultrasonic scanners release sound waves and monitor the sound waves which are reflected back. They work like SONAR in submarines, or in the squeaking of bats. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation, like light. In either case, if you are using either for an imaging tool, you send the signal and observe how matter (like a baby, or bone) has changed the singal. This information can allow you to make a picture of what your machine "saw."

I think they have to do with machines that support lives or save lives. It is not that easy of a major because you have to be a doctor (know about health, body, humans etc you know all the biology stuff) and also know about engineering (how to build a machine, mathematics, logic) so that you build a machine that solves a certain health problem or a machine that supports a sick person. For example, a biomechanical engineer would build a machine that pumps blood through a human's body, so that humans with heart problems can be supported. I think all the machines you see in hospitals are build by biomechanical engineers.

Physics is in everything you do from brushing your teeth, to watching TV.  Without the major breakthroughs in physics, you wouldn't be able to enjoy the technology we have today.\n\nHowever, if you mean do you need to know physics the answer is no.  Obviously you can brush your teeth without knowing the tooth brush is a class three lever.  But for me, I appreciate the things in life like a sunset, when I know how they work.

There are a number of interesting areas that are in development:\n\nThese are in no particulkar order:\n\n1. Supersymmetric String Theory. Mathematicians are trying to pull together a cohesive set of equations that prove the existence of up to 26 alternate dimensions. It is considered one of the most promising candidate theories of quantum gravity. Unlike bosonic string theory, it is the version of string theory that incorporates fermions and supersymmetry.  The deepest problem in theoretical physics is harmonizing the theory of general relativity, which describes gravitation and applies to large-scale structures (stars, galaxies, super clusters), with quantum mechanics which describes the other three fundamental forces acting on the microscopic scale.\n\n2. Collabroative Filtering. This has been on the rise in recent years. It's basically a set of equations that determine group behavior. The most common application is an attempt to predict an individual buyers tastes based on what they buy and other people that purchase the same material. Amazon.com are already using a version of Collaborative Filtering. More recently, collaborative filtering has been used in e-learning to promote and benefit from students' collaboration.\n\n3. Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics. There is a lot of emphasis on mathematical prediction analysis, particurly in the field of genetics: the statistical analysis of the effects of germs, viruses on immune cell diversity; developing methods to predict the structure and/or function of newly discovered proteins and structural RNA sequences; clustering protein sequences into families of related sequences and the development of protein models; aligning similar proteins and generating phylogenetic trees to examine evolutionary relationships. Biostatistics is the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including medicine, biology, and public health, and the development of new tools to study these areas.\n\n4. Number Theory. This is always a strong area as there never seems to be a shortage of research candidates: prime number theory, probabilistic number theory, elliptic curves, Galois module structure, deformations of Galois representations, Iwasawa theory, Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Ramanujan's Notebooks, modular forms, partition theory, special functions, elliptic functions (elliptic integrals), geometry of numbers, Diophantine approximation, arithmetic functions, sieves, transcendence and irrationality, continued fractions, q-series, and coding theory.\n\n5. Logic: Axiomatic Systems and Set Theory. Set Theory is the mathematical science of the infinite. It studies properties of sets, abstract objects that pervade the whole of modern mathematics. The language of set theory, in its simplicity, is sufficiently universal to formalize all mathematical concepts and thus set theory, along with Predicate Calculus, constitutes the true Foundations of Mathematics. As a mathematical theory, Set Theory possesses a rich internal structure, and its methods serve as a powerful tool for applications in many other fields of mathematics. Set Theory, with its emphasis on consistency and independence proofs, provides a gauge for measuring the consistency strength of various mathematical statements. There are four main directions of current research in set theory, all intertwined and all aiming at the ultimate goal of the theory: to describe the structure of the mathematical universe. They are: inner models, independence proofs, large cardinals, and descriptive set theory.

Try electric fields, energy fields, bio-chemistry and genetics. Excellent research material, isn't it? If that doesn't satisfy, maybe, try out psychology and also positive uses of psychic energy.
