This global emergency has triggered responses from all across, including the domain of science and technology. Especially, the use of nanotechnology has offered fresh opportunities and novel strategies in terms of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Covid19. Experts believe that the virus behind Covid-19 consists of a structure of a similar scale as nanoparticles, i.e. ultrasmall, about ten thousand times smaller than the width of a hair strand. Here we take a look at few such nanotechnology-based innovations that are already contributing to the fight against the pandemic.
