Electrified Droplets Create Mini Saturn PlanetsBy electrifying tiny drops of fluid, scientists have created miniature versions of the ringed planet Saturn. When a drop of electrically conductive liquid is exposed to an electric field, the droplet responds by forming two electrically charged poles. Previous research has shown that these poles can get pulled toward the sources of the electric field, taking on cone shapes.
