------------------ Not included ------------------

8 items

Most/all would have been included if there was more space (3):

- * A novel synthetic biology-based process for recycling of plastics mixtures is presented.
- * A novel type of effective hydrogen storage using readily available salts is reported.
- A study of PNMN, the world's largest no-fishing zone, finds a "spillover benefit" for migratory species like bigeye and yellowfin tuna.

Most/all are unlikely to be included as category-2 items (5):

- Edmonton Police Service reports the use of DNA phenotyping to generate 3D facial images of crime suspects.
- The first data transmission to exceed 1 petabit per second (Pbit/s) using only a single laser and a single optical chip is demonstrated by European researchers.
- Astronomers report that GJ 1252b, an Earth-sized planet orbiting an M-class red dwarf, appears to have no atmosphere, which may reduce the chances of life emerging in such systems.
- The NHS launches 'Our Future Health', one of the world's largest health and genetic data gathering projects, aimed at building a long-term repository of information for researchers. Five million UK adults are invited to participate.
- Multiple traces of monkeypox are detected in non-sewered wastewater with sparse sampling from a densely populated metropolitan area in Asia.
