Caption: This image, created using a modeling technique called finite element computation, shows a droplet forming from a liquid that has been exposed to an electric field. Chemical engineers at Purdue are the first to mathematically describe precisely how the process forms droplets, an advance that could have applications in areas ranging from manufacturing to medical diagnostics.
