Technology. Breast physics is an application of soft-body dynamics, the field of computer graphics that focuses on physical simulations of the motion and properties of deformable objects. In a game with 3D graphics, character models are composed of a skeleton of "bones" connected with joints and covered by a "skin" of textured polygons.
This is a list of women who have made significant contributions to the field of physics. This is a non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Physicists . It includes physicists that can also be found in the parent category, or in diffusing subcategories of the parent.
