Goldfish might look as if they are just swimming around with their mouths open, but what goes on inside those mouths is a lot like a high-efficiency industrial filter, according to mathematician ...

Researchers detail for the first time how baleen whales use crossflow filtration to separate prey from water without ever coming into contact with the baleen. In a recent paper published in PLOS One, ...

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 ...

Sartorius Stedim Biotech’s (SSB) Sartoflow Smart is a benchtop crossflow system for optimized ultra- and diafiltration applications. Sartorius Stedim Biotech’s (SSB) Sartoflow Smart is a benchtop ...

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 ...
