- A de-extinction company has hatched live chicks from an artificial eggshell
A biotech company called Colossal Biosciences has successfully hatched live chicks from an artificial eggshell, a development that could potentially be used to bring back extinct species. The company's CEO, Ben Lamm, believes this technology could one day be used to genetically engineer birds to resemble the extinct South Island giant moa. However, independent scientists have expressed mixed reviews about the technology and its potential for de-extinction.
