“…These studies fall into two categories in terms of the operation mode: dynamic mode and static mode. Nanomechanical sensors operated in dynamic mode detect viruses by their mass (more specifically, shifts in the resonant frequency; Johnson et al, 2006 ; Braun et al, 2009 ; Cha et al, 2009 ; Capobianco et al, 2010 ) while static mode operates based on the stress or strain (Gunter et al, 2003 ; Sreepriya and Hai-Feng, 2006 ; Alodhayb et al, 2013 ; Xu et al, 2014 ; Gorelkin et al, 2015 ; Kim et al, 2015 ). Thus, the FEA simulation in the present study can be adapted to the detection of viruses in static mode.…”
