>Walt Disney of Porn

To his defenders in the sex industry, Sturman was a marketing genius and a champion of free speech, an entrepreneur whose toughness, intelligence, and boundless self-confidence were responsible for his successes. But to anti-porn activists and Justice Department officials, Sturman was the head of a vast criminal organization whose companies enjoyed an unfair competitive advantage: protection and support from the highest levels of the Cosa Nostra.

"Goldstein was the first journalist to seriously review porn films. Had he not written a rave review of a low-budget film called Deep Throat (โ€œI was never so moved by any theatrical performance since stuttering through my own bar mitzvahโ€), it would never have become a hit at New York's World Theater, would never have been targeted by the vice squad, would never have spawned a First Amendment cause cรฉlรจbre, and might not have led to the modern porn industry."

UC Irvine chemist Reginald Penner (shown) and doctoral candidate Mya Le Thai have developed a nanowire-based technology that allows lithium-ion batteries to be recharged hundreds of thousands of times.

100k Cycles and Beyond: Extraordinary Cycle Stability for MnO2 Nanowires Imparted by a Gel Electrolyte

We demonstrate reversible cycle stability for up to 200โ€ฏ000 cycles with 94โ€“96% average Coulombic efficiency for symmetrical ฮด-MnO2 nanowire capacitors operating across a 1.2 V voltage window in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) gel electrolyte. The nanowires investigated here have a Au@ฮด-MnO2 core@shell architecture in which a central gold nanowire current collector is surrounded by an electrodeposited layer of ฮด-MnO2 that has a thickness of between 143 and 300 nm. Identical capacitors operating in the absence of PMMA (propylene carbonate (PC), 1.0 M LiClO4) show dramatically reduced cycle stabilities ranging from 2000 to 8000 cycles. In the liquid PC electrolyte, the ฮด-MnO2 shell fractures, delaminates, and separates from the gold nanowire current collector. These deleterious processes are not observed in the PMMA electrolyte.
