Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technologies of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, as well as the Institute of High Energy Physics and the Kunming Institute of Zoology, both within the Academy of Sciences, developed the nanomaterial and its antiviral mechanism. According to the results of the study, this nanomaterial has an extremely high and selective binding capacity in the area of binding to receptors on the spike protein of “wild type” SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, such as delta and omicron. Testing showed that upon contact with this nanomaterial, the virus was...
