- ------------------ Not included ------------------
- 13 items
- Most/all would have been included if there was more space (11):
- - Lab-made cartilage gel based on a synthetic hydrogel composite is found to have greater strength and wear resistance than natural cartilage
- - * A screening AI system for many cancer types that integrates different types of data via multimodal learning is reported
- - * A review recommends a 'living guideline' framework for needed clinical management research
- - A report by Global Forest Watch, using new data, concludes that the amount of tree cover being burned has nearly doubled in the past 20 years
- - * Scientists report a so far unique and unknown feature of material VO2 – it can "remember" previous external stimuli (via structural rather than electronic states), with potential for e.g. data storage
- - * Researchers introduce the concept of 'false social reality' and substantiate it by showing that (a sample of) Americans widely underestimate general public support for climate change mitigation policies by a large margin
- - * A genome-wide association study meta-analysis reports genetic factors of, the so far uniquely human, language-related skills, in particular factors of differences in skill-levels of five tested traits
- - * The first rail line entirely run by hydrogen-powered trains debuts in Germany
- - * Researchers report the development of a highly effective CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing method without expensive viral vectors, enabling e.g. novel anti-cancer CAR-T cell therapies
- - * A study reports that in model animals, treatment with rapamycin – which typically has negative side-effects – for a limited timespan extended lifespan as much as life-long administration started at the same age and that it was most effective during early adulthood
- - * After establishment of the Scientist Rebellion around March 2021, several researchers affiliated with the movement argue for civil disobedience by colleagues
- Most/all are unlikely to be included as category-2 items (2):
- - The discovery of a super-Earth around the red dwarf star Ross 508 is reported
- - The dugong is declared extinct in China
