The move raises concerns about potential political pressure being applied to a federal regulatory body to target a member of the press. Critics see the demand as an attempt to use government authority to punish unfavorable media coverage.

Researchers discovered that the impact of falling water droplets produces enough electrical energy to degrade certain materials. The findings highlight a new and unexpected way in which ordinary rainfall can cause physical damage to vehicles and potentially other surfaces.
