But whatever momentum Cleveland built, in what has been an up-and-down season so far, is gone.“We’ve said this from the beginning, we want to be a championship-caliber team and we’re not playing...

It’s something that doesn’t; happen very often. There’s very few that have done it, so it’s definitely pretty cool. But honestly the win means more.”Jarry is the fourth goalie to score in the past 10 years, and 14th overall in the regular season. He looked at the boards at first for a potential clearing try before taking aim at the opposing goal.“It was just kind of the perfect scenario,” Jarry said. “It was coming in kind of slow and I was able to just get around it, and shoot as hard as I could.”It was the first goal scored by a Penguins goalie. Jarry also had a goal for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL on Nov. 14, 2018, at Sprin...

Estos minirobots vivos fabricados con células humanas sorprenden a los científicos

(CNN) — Un grupo de científicos creó robots vivos en miniatura a partir de células humanas que pueden moverse en una placa de laboratorio y, algún día, podrían ayudar a curar heridas o tejidos dañados, según señaló un nuevo estudio.Un equipo de la Universidad de Tufts y del Instituto Wyss de la Universidad de Harvard ha llamado a estas creaciones “anthrobots”. La investigación se basa en trabajos anteriores de algunos de los mismos científicos que crearon los primeros robots vivos, o xenobots, a partir de células madre obtenidas de embriones de la rana africana con garras (Xenopus laevis).“Algunas personas pensaban que las características de los xenobots dependían en gran medida del hecho de que son embrionarios y anfibios”, dijo el autor del estudio Michael Levin, profesor del Departamento de Biología Vannevar Bush de la Escuela de Artes y Ciencias de Tufts.Como sacado de Black Mirror: robots policía patrullan el aeropuerto de Singapur“No creo que esto...
