 In the world of solar-energy-conversion research,
 every percent counts.  Players struggle for every
 1 to 2% advantage.  If a test system size is 20mW,
 then 1% is 200uW.  My associate's lab system is
 at that level.  I'm fighting losses converting
 0.7 - 2.0V to 2.40V for an electrochemical cell.
 So if I take more than 2% away from his process,
 that's serious business!  But in the meantime,
 98% is also interesting challenge.**  If we can
 do this without special stuff, that'll be great!

 ** Certainly many others must have done this.
