The heat-transfer member () has: a heat-receiving surface () configured such that it can receive heat from a heat-generating body; and a heat-dissipating surface () configured such that it can dissipate, to the coolant, the heat received at the heat-receiving surface (). The heat-dissipating surface () has a plurality of pores () whose average pore diameter is 5 nm or more and 1,000 nm or less. A cooling system can be configured by causing the coolant to contact the heat-dissipating surface () of the heat-transfer member ().
