Monday Link Review
Welcome to another edition of K Exchange’s Monday Link Review. I’d like to take a second to tell all of our readers that this is the 100th post on K Exchange; a small number for some blogs out there, but a great accomplishment for us. We embarked on an initiative to improve our blog in August, and we’re proud of everything we’ve accomplished. Between our weekly Monday Link Reviews, Craig the Rocket Scientist every Thursday, and our new KFact program, there’s more content then ever being added to K Exchange, and we wanted to offer up a hearty thanks to all of our readers. But enough kudos and self reflection, on to the links!
The Guardian UK’s Environment Blog looks at the environmental impact of road construction, and how it can be made greener.
British website Core|Architect takes a look at how nanotechnology is revolutionizing architecture, claiming “Personalization of nanoarchitectural spaces will be a likely benefit giving occupants greater flexibility and choice.”
Meet “The Puffin” a electric powered hybrid helicopter/airplane intended as a solo vehicle. No word on whether it will be publically available, but this little thing sure would cut down on your commuting time, wouldn’t it?
Finally, deviating from our usual science and engineering links, in the wake of the Hatian earthquake, the Wall Street Journal took a very interesting, and very literary, look at how natural disasters have served as harbingers for positive economic growth and development throughout history.
