Claim One:
1. A device for producing a droplet, the device comprising: a first fluidic channel, having a proximal end and a distal end, in fluidic communication with a first liquid and in electrical communication with a first electrode, wherein the proximal end of the first fluidic channel is connected to the first electrode; a second fluidic channel in fluidic communication with a second liquid, wherein the second liquid is immiscible with the first liquid, and wherein the second fluidic channel is in fluidic communication with the first fluidic channel; a droplet emitter, having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the droplet emitter is in fluidic communication with the distal end of the first fluidic channel and the distal end of the droplet emitter is contacted with a gas; a second electrode comprising an opening configured to allow the passage of a droplet emitted from the droplet emitter; and a voltage source in electrical communication with the first electrode, the second electrode, or a combination thereof, wherein the voltage source is sufficient to generate a droplet emitted from the droplet emitter, thereby forming a double emulsion.
