Your a better man than I if you can type on a computer and pass a kidney stone. Had one last summer and If it wasn't for the morphine, I think I would have died. As for the solar thing, I just thought if the material was capable of absorbing sunlight efficiently, I can't see why we couldn't just coat some existing solar cells and see if it helped improve efficiency. Seems to me that would be an easy application success. Absorb the light and block the reflective light; kind of trap it so to speak. If we can make a light switch with the goo, we aught to be able to make a check valve too. I.e. set up one way passage. I'm thinking that could be huge too. We could work with GLW and coat some gorilla glass and laminate it over some solar cells.
