For years Word Community Grid has been quietly supporting cutting-edge research into important global causes. The fun part is that the power behind this grid is your computer. With a simple, free account, an app download and, if you like, a few personal settings tweaks you can put any or all of your devices to work. The app and grid take care of the work for you, tapping into the spare power of your computer.
