Science and Math: Another round-up of interesting links

I have been having difficulty finding enough time to write my normal analysis and commentary on the information I have come across. Therefore, in order to not fall any further behind in getting interesting things out to you, I'm going to once again resort to listing the links.

With apologies, here they are:
