World Community Grid is a volunteer computing project where people can donate their computer's spare computational power to science (similar to folding@home). This week they announced some results of their research and having passed the 800,000 CPU-year mark which is pretty incredible.

Previous discoveries from WCG have included new cancer markers for lung cancer, new candidates for high-efficiency materials for solar panels, and more.
