The president and vice president aren’t elected directly by United States citizens. Rather, they are chosen through the Electoral College.  The process has sparked debate for years. How did the Electoral College come to be, and how does it work? Is the process fair? (In 1969, New Jersey representatives of the House attempted to do away with the process.)

Brookhaven's Computing Center Reaches 300 Petabytes of Stored Data
Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Scientific Data and Computing Center (SDCC) at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory now stores more than 300 petabytes of data. That's far more data than would be needed to store everything written by humankind since the dawn of history — or, if you prefer your media in video format, all the movies ever created.

Neutrons Help Improve 3D-Printed Superalloys for Applications in Extreme Environments
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers studied stress effects in novel “superalloys” made from two 3D-printed high-strength, high-heat resistant metals. The study found that heat treatments reduce stress created in the materials during manufacturing. It also found that stresses are more likely to be caused by certain manufacturing parameters than they are by the metal’s chemical composition.

New Study Reveals Growing Weather Extremes in Indo-Pacific Region Driven by Shifts in Tropical Weather Patterns
National University of Singapore (NUS)

A recent study published in Nature Geoscience provides groundbreaking insights into long-term changes in tropical weather patterns that are leading to an increased frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall in the Indo-Pacific. These changes are possibly driven by global warming, among other factors. The paper, titled “Indo-Pacific regional extremes aggravated by changes in tropical weather patterns”, employs a recently proposed methodology that characterises occurrence trends of weather patterns using atmospheric analogues, which are linked to the concept of recurrences in dynamical systems theory.
