French term

faire éclater

French to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
From a semi-specialized scientific journal: "XYZ participent en cette recherche en associant les gouttes à du sodium qu'ils excitent avec un laser pour les faire éclater."

I've found some references to drops or droplets "bursting" but would appreciate some confirmation. All suggestions welcome!
