Hello loyal readers, and welcome to another edition of K Exchange’s Monday Link Review! We’ve managed to peel ourselves away from the 24 hour Olympic Curling coverage in order to make sure that you get your weekly dose of the best science and engineering links available on the web. Enjoy!

Scientific American has a very cool story called Fighting Crime with Math, exploring mathematical models built from LAPD crime statistics.

I’ll personally never forget a filmstrip I watched in grade school called “Can I Sit on a Cloud?” that explained to kids what clouds were made of. In another story from Scientific American, they go into a little more scientific detail on The Physics of Clouds. Sadly, the Scientific American piece does not feature Wondercat.

United Press International has a short feature on how scientists are making discoveries in the brain… of the fruit fly.

Finally, after nearly 100 years, we’ve learned the cause of King Tut’s death. Contrary to Steve Martin’s belief, he did not actually die “for tourism.”

Florida Today has an interesting piece about Engineering Careers, and how they’re still considered the wave of the future.

From ABC News, apparently Cornell scientists are creating “Spiderman technology” that will allow humans to crawl up walls. No word yet on the Super Soldier Serum.

Sfgate.com has a story about scientists attemption to recreate the power of the sun via 192 lasers.

And finally, I don’t know how viable a fuel source it is for cars, but could you imagine filling up with Coca-Cola?

Welcome to another edition of K Exchange’s Monday Link Review, our weekly digest of the best science and engineering stories of the past week from around the internet.

I’m not ashamed to admit that my favorite links usually come in the form of a Popular Mechanics List, and this is no exception: The World’s 18 Strangest Tunnels.

In a story that seems, to me anyway, to be culled straight from 1930’s pulp comics, MIT researchers may have developed a new way to develop clean energy: levitating magnets.

From the always controversial world of climate change news, a group of environmental scientists recently posited a way to halt climate change in Nature Magazine: giant explosions.

And finally, we have a great list from an unlikely source: Spike TV’s website. The Top 10 (Gutsiest) Scientists in History.

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.

Welcome to another edition of K Exchange’s Monday Link Review, our weekly look at all the best science and engineering links from across the web.

Popular Science takes a look at the future of space travel, and it’s not being run by NASA.

ENR continues looking back on 2009 with The Top 25 Newsmakers.

Speaking of looks back, Fixr.com gives us the Top Ten Green Structures of 2009.

And finally, dailygalaxy.com explores a unique source of inspiration for engineers: Whales and Dolphins.

Welcome to another edition of K Exchange’s Monday Link Review! Our weekly digest of the best links in science and engineering taken from around the internet.

A little late, but at the end of ‘09 ENR posted their annual photo contest, featuring the best engineering and construction photographs they received throughout the year.

The article is slightly bombastic, but this piece from UK’s Daily Mail takes a look at Professor Henry Markham’s plan to create artificial intelligence.

So sit back, forget about those long lines and enjoy this week’s links!

NASA is developing a new crash countermeasure designed to minimize damage from helicopter crashes. How do you test something like that? By strapping in four dummies and dropping a helicopter from a building, of course.

NPR takes a very cool look at Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine. A Calculator built recently that was designed in 1821!

Scientists in West London, using tools designed for manipulating nanoparticles, have created the world’s smallest snowman. Sadly, they were unable to find a magic silk hat in his size.

And finally, Gizmodo has the perfect holiday gift for our friends in the Physics department: a string theory paperweight!
