Potentially replacing copper and silicon in devices and promising to provide more energy efficient, faster charging batteries, the material has so far been limited by an inability to be mass produced.

Jessie Lunderby is a detention officer in Arkansas. She dreams about becoming an undercover cop one day, which is ironic… … because her new Playboy.com spread has men dreaming about her, under their covers! But the blonde beauty, who has been named Cyber Girl of the Week by that magazine, has come under fire for her decision to pose naked. In fact, KSLA News reports Lunderby was placed on “administrative leave” for the photo, even though she says she cleared it with her bosses and it was taken on her own time.
