Video Games and Biology

Video games aren't just for kids. Researchers are now using the same technology that runs games to create realistic simulations of biological systems. As ScienCentral News reports, this approach could speed up research into diseases and drug therapies.

Games helps the world very well... give us games in school :DDDD  so learning would be more easier and funnier

I should try to be a scientist more often XD, that's one more reason why gaming is good. Man kind have everything within their hands and they don't know how to use them...

SPOOORE! :D

That's Nvidia video card CUDA technology by the way!... I guess they didn't want to give free promotion to Nvidia in this report.

I can't wait to buy me a 400 series, I'm stuck with my 9800 Ultra 1GB

it's funny how a 550 dollar nVidia card can beat a million dollar super computer in processing speed.

and now todays lesson is... BLASTING PEOPLES HEADS OFF!

a 100 watt power supply wouldn't run a i7...

They were using CPU's to do these simulations. Now they are switching to GPU's. So no they weren't using shitty programs.

lol... I can imagine tests as RTS beat the teacher with concepts you learn from your lesson... or history FPS... or Civ 4 style geopol
