A high-speed camera captures how a water jet pierces a droplet

In a new study by MIT and the University of Twente in the Netherlands, scientists fired small water jets through droplets. They did so to see the drop impact as the water jet pierces through the droplet. Using high-speed cameras, scientists captured a water jet’s splashy impact as it pierces a droplet.

As the droplets in their experiments are transparent, the scientists could also track what happens inside a droplet as a jet is fired through.
