Amazing! Japanese high school students discover how to hatch an egg without the shell

A group of Japanese high school students have made an amazing scientific breakthrough by discovering how to hatch a chicken egg outside of its shell.

What is perhaps most impressive is how they managed to do this with just cling wrap, a cup and an incubator.

The girls' experiment has even been published in foreign scientific journals.

A video of the 21-day process was posted on Facebook page Spoon & Tamago.
