Science Links Digest #1

For some time now, I've been pulling together some science and technology links to send to my boss about science and technology. I've been thinking it might be nice to publish some of these in a blog entry, so other readers can have a glimpse at some of the amazing, fascinating and interesting things going on in the world.

A word on my technique: This is essentially my digest of highlights, mostly of applied and practical science from Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Scientific American, Discover Magazine, Technology review, and now Ars Technica. I might include others as time goes on, but I'm mainly working on those few core websites, to keep things simple.

In the meantime, here's my collection of links:
