IBM and Harvard scientists want to make use of your computer. They are developing plastic solar cells that will be more flexible and allow more absorption of sunlight than traditional silicon cells. Their goal is to make the material more cost efficient and flexible.
To do this they would like to be able to use at least 1 million idle computers from around the world. The pc's would help in their calculations and reduce the time they acquire and process needed data from a possible 20 years down to approximate 2 years.
You can download the software and let it run on your computer while it's idle and also includes security software.
