===Computing for Clean Water=== '''Computing for Clean Water''' (launched September 20, 2010<ref name="Computing for Clean Water-WCG" /><ref name="Computing for Clean Water-Tsinghua" />) is sponsored by the Center for Nano and Micro Mechanics of [[Tsinghua University]] in [[Beijing]]. The project's mission is to provide deeper insight on the molecular scale into the origins of the efficient flow of water through a novel class of filter materials. This insight will in turn guide future development of low-cost and more efficient water filters. It is estimated that 1.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.6 billion have little or no sanitation. As a result, millions of people die annually β an estimated 3,900 children a day due to a lack of clean water.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/c4cw/overview.do|title=World Community Grid - Research - Computing for Clean Water|work=worldcommunitygrid.org|access-date=2011-10-27|archive-date=2011-10-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111030022726/http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/c4cw/overview.do|url-status=live}}</ref> On April 25, 2014, the project scientists released an update stating that they had exciting results to report when the paper is submitted and that the project on WCG was finished.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=355|title=Computing for Clean Water project update|date=25 April 2014|vauthors=Grey F|work=worldcommunitygrid.org|access-date=25 April 2014|archive-date=26 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426214758/http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/about_us/viewNewsArticle.do?articleId=355|url-status=live}}</ref>
