Folding@Home is a research project run by our friends at Stanford University. It is a massively distributed computing effort to simulate proteins and study how they "fold" themselves.
People can download software to run on their computers, which runs these simulations and sends the results back to Stanford. Researchers hope to use this information to help treat and cure such diseases as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and various types of cancer.
