But in the 10 July <em>Physical Review Letters<\/em>, researchers report a way to induce a fluid jet to burst from an isolated droplet. The team placed a liquid droplet on a surface and blasted it with focused surface acoustic waves&#8211;nano-sized versions of the ground-shaking waves from earthquakes&#8211;causing the droplet to shoot upward in a narrow stream. The researchers believe the technique could be useful in drug delivery, biomedical research, and inkjet printing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Squirting Water without a Gun Fluid jets are normally made by forcing liquid through a nozzle, such as in a squirt gun or a syringe.
