[Brett_Tabke]

Somewhat of a continution from the Toolbar update thread [webmasterworld.com].

First bit of success for the Folding@home project:

[stanford.edu...]

Now, for the first time, a distributed computing experiment has produced significant results that have been published in a scientific journal. Writing in the advanced online edition of Nature magazine, Stanford University scientists Christopher D. Snow and Vijay S. Pande describe how they -- with the help of 30,000 personal computers -- successfully simulated part of the complex folding process that a typical protein molecule undergoes to achieve its unique, three-dimensional shape.

Good find Brett....
Glad to see my little pc helped in such groundbreaking research.....

I must say I find it rather ironic, that such brilliant minds are still capable of javascript errors though;)

I presume I will get 1/30,000th of a credit and recognition on the research paper and I can add this to my CV, right?
