BOINC: Compute for Science

BOINC is a program that lets you donate your idle computer time to science projects like Einstein@Home, Climateprediction.net, Rosetta@home, World Community Grid, and many others. After installing BOINC on your computer, you can connect it to as many of these projects as you like.

Catch a Wave From Space

Gravitational waves detected 100 years after Einstein's prediction.

Einstein@Home uses your computer's idle time to search for weak astrophysical signals from spinning neutron stars (often called pulsars)
using data from the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors, the Arecibo radio telescope, and the Fermi gamma-ray satellite.
Einstein@Home volunteers have already discovered about fifty new neutron stars, and we hope to find many more.
Please ask your friends and colleagues to sign up!

LISA will fly and observe gravitational waves in space.
