Resonant absorption of ultrasound energy as a method of HIV destruction
Received 21 June 1999; accepted 22 November 1999.
Abstract
A new method for eradicating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other enveloped viruses is proposed. The method is based on the highly symmetric structure (e.g. icosahedral) of many viruses, which leads to a well-defined resonant frequency of ultrasound in the GHz range and which may be specifically absorbed by these structures and may subsequently lead to their irreversible damage.
