Use Your Old Phone For Scientific Research
I ran across this interesting project that allows you to donate the processing speed of your old Android device to help with scientific research. This means that you're officially a scientist and your friends should call you "Doctor".
All you have to do is install an app called BIONIC and you'll be able get started supporting the research of your choice.
Quote:
| Use your phone or tablet to study diseases, predict global warming, or discover pulsars! BOINC harnesses the unused computing power of your Android device and runs jobs for scientific research projects. You can choose from projects in several areas of science, including Yoyo@Home, World Community Grid, PrimeGrid, Enigma@Home, OProject@Home, theSkyNet POGS, Asteroids@Home, and Einstein@Home. BOINC computes only when your device is plugged in and charged, so it won't run down your battery. It transfers data over WiFi, so it won't use up your cell phone plan's data limit. |
