Crowdsourcing the Fight Against COVID-19
As hospitals and healthcare workers scramble to treat patients infected with the noval coronavirus, technology is being used to help find ways to fight off the disease. Leveraging the processing power crowdsourced from across millions of computers, the group Folding@Home hopes researchers will be better able to study COVID-19, similar to how scientists understood the universe with SETI@Home.
