Abstract
Abstract The fabrication of long‐lived, durable, superhydrophobic surfaces using a manufacturable process is an important challenge for material science. Significant advances have been reported; however, many surfaces suffer from fragility, nonmanufacturable fabrication techniques, and temporal instability. Such challenges have limited commercial scale application of superhydrophobic films, including their application to water desalination where long lifetimes and durability are essential. The fabrication of controllably wettable surfaces formed from laser‐induced graphene is demonstrated in atmospheric conditions with contact angle control from 59° to 176°; representing some of the most superhydrophobic carbon surfaces ever reported. This superhydrophobicity is used to engineer a membrane with the largest pores ever reported for the energy efficient water desalination technique of air‐gapped membrane distillation. State‐of‐the‐art production of distilled water is observed, and no membrane failure or loss of superhydrophobicity is observed on a time‐scale of months—suggesting total water production capabilities well beyond anything yet demonstrated.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
