New useful screensaver – Einstein@Home

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer’s idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac OS clients are available. The project uses the same platform as SETI@Home, according to this MSNBC article.
