Cure@PS3 project

Thanks to the Cure@PS3 Project, leaving your PS3 running their software will help find cures to some particularly nasty diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Huntington's Disease, and certain forms of cancer. This could be a great way for researchers or health professionals to get a tax-deductible PS3 (i know - that is a very selfish angle on an otherwise altruistic project..)

Check out the information and a video of the software busily running simulations to further the study of protein folding:
