AB  - Destabilization of liquid film by electro-hydro-dynamics (EHD) pressure is 
      achieved through the pyroelectric effect on a polar dielectric crystal. We show 
      that by destabilizing the liquid film, periodical self-assembled multi-jets are 
      obtained. The multi-jets operate simultaneously and could be exploited to 
      dispense liquids with nanolitre drops. Such multiple self-assembled liquid jets 
      have significant potential applicability for high-throughput liquid transfer by 
      this novel pyro-EHD ink-jet approach. Since the method avoids the use of nozzles 
      and electrodes, it is especially suitable for highly viscous liquids. Here we 
      present and discuss the new multi-jet process and the results obtained with a 
      liquid polymer (PDMS).
