<ul><li>A new study finds that a small electrical charge can suppress a droplet's splash when it falls on a surface.</li><li>The electrical charge builds up along the drop's surface, acting like surface tension and inhibiting splashing.</li><li>Charged drops do not lift off the surface as much and spread less, reducing the chances of splashing.</li><li>This discovery could lead to better control of droplets in inkjet printing, enabling higher resolution printing.</li></ul>
