  153.  
  154. - *Second mechanism that repairs interstrand crosslink (ICL) DNA damage caused by the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde discovered

  156. - *New bioink that can be used to create vascular-like structures
  157. - Mars 2020 rover gets renamed to Perseverance

  159. - *CRISPR-Cas12b becomes third promising CRISPR editing tool for plants
  160. - ESO-telescope report the discovery of an exoplanet on which it rains molten iron
  161. - FDA grants emergency authorisation for coronavirus tests by a diagnostics maker to improve speed of patient testing
  162. - First confirmed SARS-CoV-2 case may have been registered on 17 November 2019 according to a Chinese newspaper
  163. - *US Army lab reports to have a Rydberg sensor with high sensitivity: 0 to 10^12 Hertz; potential applications e.g. in detecting communication signals
  164. - *Report of discovery and rendering of Ikaria wariootia: potential ancestor of all animals which have two quasi-symmetric sides and two openings linked by a digestive tract (bilateria)
  165. - *New breakthrough for the development of "repeaters" for the development of quantum networks
  166. - NASA astronomers report the detection of a large atmospheric magnetic bubble (plasmoid) released into outer space from the planet Uranus, after reevaluating old data recorded by the Voyager 2 space probe during a flyby of the planet in 1986
