Folding@Home on the PS3:

Play games one minute, help cure cancer the next.

PS3 allows you to contribute to medical research in the search of finding cures for various types of diseases & cancers including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. By participating in the Folding@Home project, your PS3's processing power is used to simulate the folding and misfolding of protein molecules - critical in the understanding of the development of diseases - with the results sent back to Stamford University for further analysis. The application runs while you're checking out Life With PlayStation - a free service allowing you to check out all the latest news and weather from around the world thanks to the Weather Channel and Google News.

So if you're online with your PS3, join over a million registered PS3 owners and take part in this worthy global computing project.
