  155. - *A second mechanism that repairs interstrand crosslink (ICL) DNA damage caused by the alcohol metabolite acetaldehyde is discovered

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

  160. - *CRISPR-Cas12b becomes the third promising CRISPR editing tool for plants
  161. - ESO-telescope report the discovery of an exoplanet on which it rains molten iron
  162. - FDA grants emergency authorisation for coronavirus tests by a diagnostics maker to improve speed of patient testing
  163. - First confirmed SARS-CoV-2 case may have been registered on 17 November 2019 according to a Chinese newspaper
  164. - *US Army lab reports to have a Rydberg sensor with high sensitivity: 0 to 10^12 Hertz; potential applications e.g. in detection of communication signals
  165. - *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)
  166. - *New breakthrough for the development of "quantum repeaters" for quantum networks
  167. - 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
  168. - On 26 March the US has more reported confirmed coronavirus infection cases than any other country in the world
  169. - A third mass coral bleaching event in 5 years is recorded at the Great Barrier Reef

  171. - First coronavirus patient (patient zero) may have been a 57-year old woman tested positive on 10 December 2019
