<title>Sea urchins' ballistic escape from predators</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21086/Sea-urchins-ballistic-escape-from-predators.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[New research shows that sea urchins, albeit having a limited and ancestral sensory system, can show a complex behaviour when escaping a predator. These marine invertebrates tend to move slowly and with unpredictable movements, but when they smell a predator, they escape following a ballistic motion -- straightforward, quick and directional -- to escape the threat.]]></description>

<title>Researchers find repeated link between volcanic eruptions and dynastic collapse in China's Imperial Era</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21072/Researchers-find-repeated-link-between-volcanic-eruptions-and-dynastic-collapse-in-Chinas-Imperial-Era.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Volcanic eruptions may have triggered abrupt climate changes contributing to the repeated collapse of Chinese dynasties over the past 2,000 years, according to new research. The study also illustrates how volcanic eruptions can profoundly impact vulnerable or unstable regions and highlights the need to prepare for future eruptions.]]></description>

<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21073/Using-mechanical-tools-improves-our-language-skills-study-finds.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Research has revealed a correlation between being particularly proficient in tool use and having good syntactic ability. A new study has now shown that both skills rely on the same neurological resources, which are located in the same brain region. Furthermore, motor training using a tool improves our ability to understand the syntax of complex sentences and -- vice-versa -- syntactic training improves our proficiency in using tools.]]></description>

<title>Black hole found hiding in star cluster outside our galaxy</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21076/Black-hole-found-hiding-in-star-cluster-outside-our-galaxy.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Astronomers have discovered a small black hole outside the Milky Way by looking at how it influences the motion of a star in its close vicinity. This is the first time this detection method has been used to reveal the presence of a black hole outside of our galaxy. The method could be key to unveiling hidden black holes in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, and to help shed light on how these mysterious objects form and evolve.]]></description>

<title>Nuclear radiation used to transmit digital data wirelessly</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21070/Nuclear-radiation-used-to-transmit-digital-data-wirelessly.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Engineers have successfully transferred digitally encoded information wirelessly using nuclear radiation instead of conventional technology. The researchers measured the spontaneous emission of fast neutrons from californium-252, a radioactive isotope produced in nuclear reactors. Several examples of information, i.e., a word, the alphabet and a random number selected blindly, were encoded serially into the modulation of the neutron field and the output decoded on a laptop which recovered the encoded information on screen. Fast neutrons have an advantage over conventional electromagnetic waves, which are significantly weakened by transmission through materials including metals.]]></description>

<title>Tread lightly: ‘Eggshell planets’ possible around other stars</title>
<link>http://allterranews.com/news/102/21067/Tread-lightly-‘Eggshell-planets’-possible-around-other-stars.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Strange 'eggshell planets' are among the rich variety of exoplanets possible, according to a study. These rocky worlds have an ultra-thin outer brittle layer and little to no topography. Such worlds are unlikely to have plate tectonics, raising questions as to their habitability. Planetary geologists have said at least three such worlds found during previous astronomical surveys may already be known.]]></description>
