    Folding@Home

    Stanford University scientist Vijay Pande decided to couple the power of computers with the help of the public. He initiated a project called Folding@Home, a so-called distributed computing project in which anyone who wants to can download a screensaver that performs protein-folding calculations when a computer is not in use. Folding@Home is modeled on a similar project called SETI@Home, which is used to search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
