Claim 10:
11. A method for microfluidic film evaporation for removal of volatiles, comprising:
providing at least one femtosecond laser-patterned substrate, comprising:
one or more femtosecond laser-patterned input paths; and
one or more femtosecond laser-patterned output paths,
wherein the at least one femtosecond laser-patterned substrate is patterned to wick a fluid in a thin film across a top surface of the femtosecond laser-patterned substrate and from the one or more femtosecond laser-patterned input paths to the one or more femtosecond laser-patterned output paths; and

providing heating for the at least one femtosecond laser-patterned substrate to heat the fluid and evaporate volatiles from the fluid.
