Advanced Nanomaterials and Nano-Optics Based Platform to Expose The Interaction Between Coronavirus and Living Cell: Molecular Phenomenon of Physiology Alterations
Rajiv Kumar and Svetlana von Gratowski
Advanced nanomaterials and nano-optics-based platforms can perform at the nanoscale and have
already been applied as a promising strategy in various investigations. At the nanoscale, these cuttingedge nanotechnologies, devices, and nanotools have already been applied for trapping, tracking, and
tackling individual particles of viruses similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) accurately. Moreover, the nano-optics-based platform and nano-tweezers can be applied
for exposing the interaction between coronavirus and living cells and the characterization of various
materials in three dimensions with high flexibility, precision, and integration. Perfectly focused lasers
act as “optical tweezers" and can be used to elucidate the interaction between coronaviruses and living
cells and study the properties of individual viruses and cells in real-time for diagnosis and treatment.
