And you haven't found anything yet? Gee... I wonder why...
(yes, I know its a cheap shot, highly unusual for me...)

Seriously, do dedicate time to Folding@Home, I'm pretty sure
their paper count is up to 3-4 papers now so they *are*
producing serious scientific results. And it is work on
methods such as those they are using and the understanding
that results such projects that will do a *lot* to accelerate the
biotechnology based path to robust molecular nanotechnology.

Its a far far better cause than expecting some advanced extraterrestrial
civilization is going to send us the plans to opening interstellar
wormholes.
