The branch is set to be merged with Blender 3.5 upon its release. In case you missed it, several days ago, Blender's Developer Jacques Lucke announced the release of the Geometry Nodes Simulation Branch, a new framework for Blender that enables you to set up basic simulations.

SARS-CoV-2 viral spike protein binds to the membrane-bound form of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to infect the host cell. For this reason, we carried out a docking study to determine if ivermectin might be able to attach to the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound with ACE2. [...] The ivermectin docking site we identified, between the viral spike and the ACE2 receptor, may interfere with the attachment of the spike to the human cell membrane. 

On a national scale, the United States and Canada rely on a very different makeup of sources to generate their electricity. The U.S. primarily uses natural gas, coal, and nuclear power, while Canada relies on both hydro and nuclear. That said, when zooming in on the province or state level, individual primary electricity sources can differ greatly.

Analyzing fossils from a cave in Siberia, scientists have found the first known Neanderthal family: a father, his teenage daughter, and others who were probably close cousins. The findings paint a picture of an actual family that lived 54,000 years ago. Neanderthals mysteriously became extinct about 40,000 years ago.

Developer OMYOG provided one more behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Unity-powered game. Solo Game Developer OMYOG, whose amazing behind-the-scenes demos have already been featured multiple times on 80 Level, has recently shared another look at an incredible ocean simulation made for Project Ferocious, an upcoming Jurassic Park-style survival shooter being developed in Unity.

Commenters are pretty awed by the footage. One wrote, " One of the coolest UFO vids yet. Someone's stealth tech not working 100%" while another said, "Incredible find," a third noted, " This is compelling," and a fourth stated, "It's seriously mind blowing and I cannot stop watching it."

Quantum entanglement is the binding together of two particles or objects, even though they may be far apart - their respective properties are linked in a way that's not possible under the rules of classical physics. It's a weird phenomenon that Einstein described as " spooky action at a distance", but its weirdness is what makes it so fascinating to scientists.
