Phononic crystals are acoustic metamaterials that used to shape fluid droplets by controlling their interaction with waves in a manner tunable the frequency of excitation. By shaping field generated surface (SAWs), precise control over direction and amplitude interfacial jetting sessile drop liquid on non-piezoelectric materials is demonstrated.
