Is not so much to expect a handful of people to revolutionize humanity's future and help bring peace on Earth. Nice. Agreed. Isn't that what Google's Solve for X is all about? :) Solve for X: Moonshot Thinking

Our paper in E&ES has been highlighted as a "Hot Article" - very neat :).

I'm seeing compounds that not only contain fluorine, but also silicon and selenium. If, that is, if I'm interpreting the names of the tasks correctly. Guess there's no practical limit to the number of compounds to look at.

Dear svincent,
yes, you are correct on both counts. One of the principal reasons to do virtual high-throughput screenings is that the chemical space, i.e., the entirety of compounds that one can think of as potential candidates, is for all intents and purposes infinite. There is the hope that somewhere in the uncharted domains of chemical space there are compound classes with game-changing properties. And we hope to discover them in the Clean Energy Project :). Best wishes, Your Harvard CEP team |

Thanks for the comment and updates cleanenergy: the frequent communication is a pleasant contrast to many other Boinc projects.
I wonder if there is any timeline for the introduction of the Curio Molecular Designer? It sounds like it has the potential to be a great time sink :) |

The 400 tetrabytes of data generated is stored in the Clean Energy Project Database, which is freely available to the public. They must have invented a new name for how much data you have accumulated.  Cheers

Hi svincent,
good question - let me check back with Laszlo and our friends in the CS department. Dear Sgt.Joe, indeed - hope they don't run into TM issues with TetraPak :). Best wishes, Your Harvard CEP team |
