Quitte frankly, the article doesn't amount to much - the video is worth clicking the link! This is what all the Folding at Home is all about!

You can now look at the SARS-CoV-2 virus up close – at the atomic level, in fact – thanks to a scientifically accurate 3D model created by a biomedical visualization studio with the help of leading virologists.

The video by Visual Science, which is just over a minute long, lends fresh insight into the intricate structure of the deadly virus by painstakingly detailing how it functions – and how our bodies fight it. At the start of the video, we are told that the novel coronavirus at the center of the ongoing pandemic is a mere 1/1,000th the width of a human hair. Thanks to cutting-edge modelling tech, though, we are able to see the molecular structure of the virus up close.

    Kudos to the sound designer of the video. It made an otherwise quite boring video with low information density into an immersive experience.

    Yes, I'm a sucker for good sound. So it could be just me.

    When it went silent at the end, I subconsciously tensed up. Took me a bit to realize that I have been conditioned to expect a jump scare in such moments.
