New Way to Kill Viruses: Shake Them to Death

http://www.livescience.com/health/080205-virus-shattering.html

"The capsid of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle," said physicist Otto Sankey of Arizona State University. "If the shell can be compromised [by mechanical vibrations], the virus can be inactivated."

Jerry Lee Lewis- Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On....that maybe true for some viruses but with the AIDS virus that thing mutates so fast you'd have to shake someone like they were a paint can at Home Depot.

Now I have to wonder if women who use vibrators on a regular basis, have a decreased incidence of cervical cancer.

Resonance is a fascinating property that is the basis of many new developments. Noise cancelling, virus cancelling, remote sensing...
