Excited to share about new experimental structures of the coronavirus spike protein that confirm predictions we made early during the COVID-19 pandemic! Congrats to former student Max Zimmerman and the rest of the team at Generate Bio foldingathome.org/2025/06/26/e...

We're using the computing power of our volunteers to help understand the causes of breast cancer and point to how to treat it. More details on our recent work on BRCA1 here foldingathome.org/2025/06/10/b...

Please join us as we Stand Up for Science in cities across the US on Friday March 7. You can find more details on the main event in Washington DC and your local event at standupforscience2025.org

Science presents so many interesting puzzles! Here's a fun read on quantum mechanics www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on

Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means.

Happy new year! 2024 was a productive year, and 2025 stands to be even more exciting! Our thanks to everyone who helped, and some reflections: foldingathome.org/2025/01/09/h...

Its time for the tech industry to introduce a new standard for cables/connectors, as I've almost switched all my devices over to USB-C😜

Our new preprint describes an allosteric glue. Here, "glue" refers to a compound that causes two proteins to stick together. Usually the glue touches both proteins but here it only has to touch one! foldingathome.org/2024/12/18/a...

It's @foldingathome.org season here in the cold north, keep your garage defrosted while donating your spare computing power to a good cause!

Too many requests for money this Giving Tuesday? Consider giving your spare CPU/GPU cycles to advance biomedical research instead! Download our software and join our community of citizen scientists here: foldingathome.org/start-folding/

To keep up with individual Folding@home researchers (past and present), check our FAH Researcher starter pack! We'll do our best to keep it up to date, so check back every so often. Link: go.bsky.app/AMkfpEq

It's getting cold out so it's time to use @foldingathome.bsky.social to warm the room with my 500ish watt heater!

Toying around with compatible video formats and size limits on bsky: Here's a kinase trajectory from @foldingathome.bsky.social undergoing a DFG-flip (the trajectory is "smoothened" so atoms might look a bit funky). Stay tuned for the full work!

New work from the Voelz lab shows how biased simulations and Markov models can be used to capture rare events and then extract unbiased results. foldingathome.org/2024/11/16/b...
