Scientists hatch chicks in 3D-printed eggs, a technology that could help de-extinction efforts
Scientists used 3D printing to hatch chicks in artificial eggs, a tech that could help de-extinction. The special egg lets oxygen flow but prevents moisture loss. Researchers moved fertilized chicken egg contents into these shells, and "healthy chicks were born," proving the system works. This could help revive extinct birds like the dodo.
