Ever wish you could help cure diseases without having to do a thing? Here’s your chance! Folding@Home, a distributed computing project based out of Stanford University, aspires to advance medical research, with a focus on curing cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. You can help by putting your computer to work when it would otherwise be just sitting there, idling.

In distributed computing, a centralized server sends out assignments—known as work units—to computers over a network. The computers complete the work and return the results to the servers, in this case, Stanford’s Chemistry Department. Check out FAH’s results page to see all the project’s amazing accomplishments thus far.
