Ultrasound has potential to damage coronaviruses, study finds

An MIT study suggests coronaviruses, including the virus that causes Covid-19, may be vulnerable to ultrasound vibrations. Simulations suggest ultrasound waves

When they exposed the virus to 100 MHz ultrasound excitations, the virus’ natural vibrations were initially undetectable. But within a fraction of a millisecond the external vibrations, resonating with the frequency of the virus’ natural oscillations, caused the shell and spikes to buckle inward, similar to a ball that dimples as it bounces off the ground.

As the researchers increased the amplitude, or intensity, of the vibrations, the shell could fracture — an acoustic phenomenon known as resonance that also explains how opera singers can crack a wineglass if they sing at just the right pitch and volume. At lower frequencies of 25 MHz and 50 MHz, the virus buckled and fractured even faster, both in simulated environments of air, and of water that is similar in density to fluids in the body.

In this article, we construct a practical geometrical and computational model of the viral shell decorated with spikes, based on the limited information in the literature. The scattering problem of the shell with the acoustic harmonic wave is solved to determine the spatial and temporal variation of pressures on the surface of the shell. Closed-form solutions are derived for the resonant vibrations of the shell and individual spikes in the realm of continuum mechanics. Then, a numerical simulation is performed on the static and dynamic response. A fully nonlinear simulation of the complex assembly of the viral envelope heavily armed with spikes follows the modal analysis. Finally, the possibility of permanently damaging the shell and/or spikes by a short burst of the ultrasound wave is discussed. The paper poses three questions pertinent to the present pandemic:

文献データを使ったシミュレーションのようです。
この技術が実用化されれば他のエンベロープウイルスにも応用できそうですが、まだまだ時間がかかりそうに思えます。
