What is 2D materials and van der Waals heterostructures platforms for advanced sensing of COVID-19 about?

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly spread across the world. More than a year later, many countries such as Brazil are set in an "emergency phase" with the tightest restrictions (Painel Coronavirus Brasil, 2021), while in Europe certain countries such as Italy, France, and Belgium are under lockdown again (New York Times, 2021). COVID-19 can result in a serious respiratory illness that currently does not glimpse a cure or effective therapy, giving rise to high global morbidity and mortality (United States Food and Drug Administration, 2021). Different vaccines are now available, authorized, and recommended for their use such as those produced by Pfizer-BioTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, AstraZeneca, and Cansino. However, worldwide vaccination will take a long time due to all the procedures involved, that is, massive production, high costs, legal authorizations, transportation, homegrown vaccination programs, politics, social, and religious issues. In addition, multiple new variants of COVID-19 are globally circulating (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). The UK variant called B.1.1.7 (2020), the South
