Physicist Otto Sankey and his team of sexy young students have discovered a new way to kill harmful viruses by shaking them to death. Through trial and error research to determine the resonant frequency of the satellite tobacco necrosis virus, the team was able to tune a laser to the same frequency and shake that thing until it begged for mercy. In practice, the technique is very similar to how a singer can break glass by matching its resonant frequency with her voice. Of course, no one wants to add insult to injury with any HIV patients, so we won't be bombarding them with arias or laser beams. But a virus-infected patient could theoretically be hooked up to a machine that would cycle through his blood and shake the hell out of any viruses it finds there. More details here.
