Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny crustaceans and certain types of coral and krill, to various molluscs, barnacles, and even massive basking sharks and baleen whales. Now, ...

Studying the filter-feeding mechanism of mobula rays, engineers developed a new design for industrial cross-flow water filters. Research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between ...

Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny ...

Microplastics are everywhere—in our food, our water and even the air. Scientists and engineers around the world have developed all sorts of creative strategies to attempt to filter our these tiny ...

Access to clean water may be a right, but for many it is a luxury. Now two inventors in Uganda have developed eco-friendly filters for use in schools and homes that turn lake water into drinking water ...
