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

11 items

Most/all would have been included if there was more space (8):

- The James Webb Space Telescope takes its first direct images of a planet beyond our Solar System.
- * Scientists elaborate a need for an evidence-based reform of regulation of genetically modified crops (moving from regulation based on characteristics of the development-process to characteristics of the product) in a paywalled article.
- A new deep learning technique enables year-round measurements of sea ice thickness in the Arctic.
- A geoengineering plan to refreeze the North and South Poles by spraying sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere, using a fleet of 125 military air-to-air refuelling tankers, is proposed by scientists.
- * Scientists report geochemical modeling results that increase confidence for the ocean of Saturn's moon Enceladus being habitable.
- * Engineers report the development of autonomous 3D-printing drones for construction and repair.
- A study affirms that drinking two to three cups of ground, instant, or decaffeinated coffee each day is associated with a longer lifespan and lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with avoiding coffee.
- * A study adds to the accumulating research showing that oil and gas industry methane emissions are much larger than thought.

Most/all are unlikely to be included as category-2 items (3):

- The U.S. Department of Agriculture approves a new purple tomato, genetically modified to alter its colour and enhance its nutritional quality.
- China reports the discovery of Changesite–(Y), a new mineral from lunar samples widely seen as a potential fuel for fusion reactors.
- Jupiter makes its closest approach to Earth since 1963.
