Congratulations to Zhengmao Lu for successfully defending his PhD on Evaporation from Nanopores: Probing Interfacial Transport. The improved fundamental understanding of evaporation reported in Zhengmao’s work indicates the significant promise of utilizing an ultrathin nanoporous design to achieve high heat fluxes for evaporation in thermal management, desalination, steam generation, and beyond.
