So, a while back I downloaded a program called BOINC from UC Berkeley. What it is, is after you download it, you sign up with a research project and your computer does math and runs simulations for it in the background while you do other stuff. You only see the icon in the taskbar though. You can choose to help projects that have to do with things like space, medicine, food supplies, superconductors, fusion energy and much more. This is a great way to help advance science and technology with almost no effort at all.
