Earlier in December, the Chicago Bears had a decision to make on how to put together their offensive line. Rookie Teven Jenkins was making his way back into the lineup after being sidelined because of a back injury. But rather than throw him some reps along the line, the team limited him to a grand total of two special teams snaps.

Head Coach Matt Nagy’s explanation why this was simple, but discouraging. Nagy told reporters the team wasn’t thinking in terms of a youth movement in the lineup because it wasn’t mathematically eliminated from postseason contention. Eighteen days later, the Bears are ineligible for postseaso…….

“Growth of human beings is similar to that of trees.

Let me explain why I say so. At first, they need some protection and care, afterwards they simply grow without our need.

What’s the starting point in designing something like this?.

This project started out as a collaboration between developmental biologists and roboticists. Our goal was to learn about how animals grow and regenerate by building robots with similar abilities. We made our first robots out of silicone rubber, which can change shape and volume to mimic growth. From t…….

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s Cabinet approved a record 5.4 trillion yen ($47 billion) defense budget for fiscal 2022 on Friday that includes funding for research and development of a new fighter jet and other “game-changing” weapons as Japan bolsters its defense capabilities in response to China’s growing military might and its tensions with Taiwan.
