Each week we uncover the most interesting and informative articles from
around the world, here are 10 of the coolest stories in science this
week.
Hawking's answer to the question "What was there before there was anything?" relies on a theory known as the "no-boundary proposal." [Read more about the beginning.]
The last male northern white rhinoceros is sick.
Sudan's problems started with an infection on his back right leg near the end of 2017, according to Ol Pejeta. His veterinary team treated him, and he was back to normal in January. [Read more about the endangered animal.]
It's the turducken of the microscopic world: an atom crammed with other
atoms, linked up with other atoms, to create an exotic new state of
matter.
The researchers turned to Campbell Island because the place is so remote that if something shows up there, it's likely to show up everywhere. The single tree on the island, a sprawling Sitka spruce, is non-native. [Read more about the odd atom.]
At the edge of life and death is a spreading dark wave.
To gather their data, the researchers set up shop in hospitals in Berlin and Cincinnati. With consent from next of kin and other legal representatives, they reported results from nine patients who died with electrodes implanted in their brains, recording how their neurons behaved in their last minutes. [Read more about the death process.]
Wave of Depression
A quick Google search of "Jesus" will pull up an assortment of images
showing a tall, white guy with long, blondish hair and a beard. But what
did Jesus really look like? [
Physicists have insisted for a long time that black holes are
impenetrable ciphers. Whatever goes in is lost, impossible to study or
meaningfully understand. Some small amount of matter and energy might
escape a black hole in the form of "Hawking radiation," but anything
still inside the black hole is functionally disappeared from the
physical universe. [Read more about the walls.]
Archaeologists have discovered a 2,300-year-old underground cemetery
that holds burials of the mummified remains of priests who worshipped
the god Thoth. One priest was found wearing an amulet that said "Happy
New Year" in Egyptian hieroglyphics. [Read more about the cemetery.]

At the time of the Big Bang, all the matter in the universe was smooshed
into an incredibly hot, infinitely dense speck of matter.

Turducken Atoms

In a state of matter known as a
Rydberg polaron, an electron (the small blue dot) travels around the
atom's nucleus (red) in a very orbital, enclosing many other atoms
(green) in the process.

Once upon a time, about 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth was an unformed
doughnut of molten rock called a synestia — and the moon was hidden in
the filling. [Read more about the event.]
Evolution of the "Magic"
