The high electric field alters the induced dipole of the protein of the virus, causing permanent damage in terms of electroporation. The negative terminal of the high voltage output can be grounded, and the positive terminal is connected to a metallic layer with a coating of CNT or ablate nano-grooves with Lithography. However, in the current work, the step-up negative high voltage charge is grounded, and the positive charges are allowed to accumulate over the metallic surface. The high electric field alters the induced dipole of the protein of the virus (Sharp and Honig 1990) , causing permanent damage in terms of electroporation (Liu et al. ./cache/cord-025129-ry85kv9q.txt ./txt/cord-025129-ry85kv9q.txt
