A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens. First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system. And that's just the warm-up. Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago. No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one. De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project. ]]> Wed 20 May 2026 11:15:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615858/a-texas-biotech-company-just-hatched-26-live-chicks-from-3d-printed-artificial-eggs-w/
