Short summary
In this work, we introduce WALL-E, a newly designed wall-free particle evaporator that enables real-time online aerosol analyses while minimizing wall interactions and fragmentation, offering a more accurate and efficient approach to studying aerosol properties. WALL-E provides molecular-level insights into aerosol composition, quantification, and volatility distributions.
