What is PageRank Evaporation?

Recently i was searching in Google and suddenly i got this word pagerank evaporation. Is it a SEO component? Is yes then please let me know.

Google’s Matt Cutts stated that links with the nofollow attribute apparently do not enable more PageRank (or link juice) to flow to the followed links on the page. Instead, the PageRank that would have otherwise been passed just evaporates.

PageRank Evaporation – Noun phrase. In PageRank algorithms, some or all of a document’s PageRank may be distributed to the rest of the documents in the collection. This is called PageRank Evaporation.

PageRank Evaporation is common when doing PR Sculpting. Matt Cutts stated that when the links with nofollow attribute, will not be getting anymore link juices to flow and follow the links on the page. Instead, the PR will be wasted and evaporates into nothing which should have been passed.
