I don't know how to make it much simpler, but I'll try to ELI5 for you. Geometry has a direct relationship to resonance[0]. If you can target the specific resonance frequency of the capsid, you can destroy it with a wave form. If you break the capsid, the virus will not survive. Resonance can be induced in many ways, such as with ultrasound[1], microwaves[2], magnetic/dielectric fields[3], light[4][5], etc... Obviously, this isn't fool-proof, as resonance can also actually assist viruses with permeating cell membranes[6]. However, these concepts can be applied to many areas of biosciences. We know magnetic fields can also disrupt cancer[7].
