Colossal kembangkan cangkang telur buatan untuk bantu menghidupkan kembali burung moa

Colossal Biosciences menyatakan telah menciptakan cangkang telur buatan yang dapat membantu memproduksi telur seukuran telur yang pernah dihasilkan oleh burung moa Selandia Baru yang telah punah. Para pakar independen memperingatkan bahwa perkembangan ini masih jauh dari kata mampu menghadirkan kembali burung raksasa tersebut.

Perusahaan tersebut, yang sebelumnya mengklaim telah membangkitkan kembali serigala purba melalui penyuntingan gen, memperkenalkan struktur kisi-kisi yang menopang membran silikon transparan. Membran ini diklaim mampu memungkinkan aliran oksigen dengan tingkat yang sama dengan cangkang telur ayam alami tanpa memerlukan pasokan oksigen tambahan. Burung moa memiliki tinggi lebih dari tiga meter dan berat lebih dari 200 kilogram, dengan ukuran telur mencapai panjang 24 sentimeter dan lebar 18 sentimeter.

A mother-and-daughter duo of citizen scientists has uncovered the largest known coral colony on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, measuring 111 meters across and covering nearly 4,000 square meters. The J-shaped formation of Pavona clavus was found during a dive as part of the Great Reef Census initiative. Advanced 3D modeling confirmed its size, highlighting the role of community involvement in marine conservation.

A 250-million-year-old fossil egg containing a Lystrosaurus embryo has provided the first direct evidence that mammal ancestors laid eggs. Discovered in South Africa, the find resolves a decades-old question about early mammalian reproduction following the End-Permian extinction. Researchers used advanced imaging to reveal the embryo's pre-hatching stage inside a soft-shelled egg.

Taiwanese researchers built a life-size model of an oviraptor nest to investigate how these dinosaurs incubated their eggs. Their experiments indicate a hybrid method involving parental warmth and sunlight, differing from modern birds. This approach explains uneven heating and asynchronous hatching in nests.

On Saturday morning, the eagle owl pair's eggs began hatching at Falun mine in Dalarna. Thousands of enthusiasts have followed the nesting via social media for weeks. The first fluffy chicks appeared in Stora stöten.

Scientists have discovered that specific geometric patterns in oyster reefs boost young oyster survival, offering a blueprint for restoration worldwide. The study, published in Nature, analyzed natural Sydney rock oyster reefs and tested artificial designs in local estuaries. Findings emphasize small protected spaces over complex structures.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a cell-free cartilage scaffold that guides the body to repair damaged bone. The innovation, tested successfully in animal models, avoids strong immune reactions and offers a universal alternative to patient-specific grafts. Plans are underway to test it in human clinical trials.
