Sony has made debut of PS3 in Japan as well as in US with a grand success with transaction of around 88,400 consoles in first two days. The debut day came with some soaring experiences to few of the PS3 seekers who had been waiting to score a console on launch day. Few crazy gamers had been waiting for their turn outside the retailer stores in Japan as well as US.

The gamers haven’t yet enjoyed the games on their PS3 for much long-time and Sony has set out a groundbreaking news to all the gamers that is more concerned about your health instead of gaming. Sony says that the PS3 could help find a way-out to unkind diseases like cancer and Alzheimer just by connecting their consoles to the Internet.

Few keen Stanford University researchers have set-to this project and say that the innovative PS3 console has an incredible potential having a very high processing rate as that of supercomputer. The researchers informed that they are trying to find out the comprehensive way to study the complex human protein folding. They are trying to deploy the simulation to untangle the complex folding responsible for fatal diseases like cancer and other folding related diseases.

The project had been dubbed as Cure@PLAYSTATION 3 that will come in action abundantly after the complete launch of PS3 in Europe as well that has been postponed up to March 2007 due to some production crisis. The research panel says what you require is to register their gadget with Stanford, download specially designed software and leave their machines online to process data when they are off their play.

The researchers are harnessing the potential of prolific Cell microprocessor repressed inside the console to solve the actual folding process in real-time using new technologies such as HDR and ISO surface rendering and the PS3 controller will be able to give the view of the protein molecule from the different directions in real-time.

I have heard thousands of times about the video games working as panacea to the depressed guys (particularly in time of examinations to come out of depression) but this technology is really a pioneering move in the field of medical-sciences.
