Sorry!
This is a kidding set of e-mails. Photons did always lead to evaporation
of water since the earth is covered by water. Even more surprising is
that ice does sublimate just from solar irradiation...
So following such hoax science today is standard to diffuse a field by
usst claiming something is new.

How light can vaporize water without the need for heat
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Researchers discovered that light can cause evaporation of water from
a surface without the need for heat. This 'photomolecular effect'
could be important for understanding climate change and for improving
some industrial processes.

"The effect is strongest when light hits the water surface at an angle
of 45 degrees. It is also strongest with a certain type of
polarization, called transverse magnetic polarization. And it peaks in
green light -- which, oddly, is the color for which water is most
transparent and thus interacts the least.
Chen and his co-researchers have proposed a physical mechanism that
can explain the angle and polarization dependence of the effect,
showing that the photons of light can impart a net force on water
molecules at the water surface that is sufficient to knock them loose
from the body of water. But they cannot yet account for the color
dependence, which they say will require further study."
