Chicks hatched from artificial eggshells, a new mission to study Earth's magnetosphere and more science stories
Colossal Biosciences has successfully hatched 26 chicks using 3D-printed artificial eggshells, a development they claim is a step towards de-extinction projects like the moa and dodo. Critics, however, question the scientific validity and purpose of these efforts, arguing that the resulting birds are merely genetically modified versions of existing species. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency and Chinese Academy of Sciences launched the Smile spacecraft to study Earth's magnetosphere and observe auroras. AI
IMPACT Colossal Biosciences' de-extinction efforts and the Smile mission's study of Earth's magnetosphere represent advancements in biotechnology and space science, respectively.
