It was only a few months back when I went to an event by The Digital Movement. It was a fruitful, enriching evening spent with Andreas Weigend and local web 2.0 enthusiasts that culminated with a night out at Lau Pa Sat. Since then, i've been looking forward to this next event.... Nexus 2007. An event that discusses the fundamental changes happening in key areas of technology and business, and how you can take the lead and leverage on them. The key focus of the even is globalization, citizen journalism, Web 2.0 and the mobile web explosion. | | No comments for this item |

Source: MSN Lifestyle: Men From concrete that can flex to sensors that you swallow, here are the technologies you'll be talking about.By Alex Hutchinson 1. Bendable Concrete
The nickname for Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is self-explanatory: bendable concrete. Specially coated microscopic polymer fibers slide past each other instead of snapping under stress, so ECC bends without breaking. The material has been used to create stretchable expansion joints for a Michigan bridge, and to allow the coupling beams in a 41-story tower in Yokohama to flex during Japan's frequent earthquakes. Short-term impact: LOW It could take years for ECC to be commonly used in construction, unless a major earthquake puts it in the spotlight. | | No comments for this item |
