Foldit is an addictive interactive game that mimics the way complex protein molecules fold up, and allows users to find new configurations. It’s really fun, and four-year olds have already found solutions that have led to new vaccines. So when you disappear for five hours at the family dinner, you can tell your in-laws you were conducting scientific research. Unlike the hugely complex massive multiplayer online games, Foldit represents a trend in easy-to-use and snap together applications that offer great entertainment and learning environments.
