This chick hatched from an artificial egg
Summary
National Geographic reports Colossal Biosciences hatched 26 chickens from a synthetic eggshell system, a step toward de-extinction ambitions for moa and dodo. The piece discusses the technology's potential and limitations, including the lack of peer-reviewed data and the complexity of recreating full avian embryos. Experts cite progress in eggshell design but warn that many challenges remain before any extinct species could be resurrected.
