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 ...

Filter-feeding fish accomplish a feat that human technologies cannot: species including goldfish, menhaden and basking sharks filter tiny algal cells or shrimp-like prey from huge volumes of water ...

Microplastic (MP) fibres from washing machines are a major source of environmental pollution, yet, existing domestic filtration solutions are prone to clogging and have limited retention. Inspired by ...

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 ...

The filtration performance of soft colloid suspensions suffers from the agglomeration of the colloids on the membrane surface as filter cakes. Backflushing of fluid through the membrane and cross-flow ...

The trouble with traditional filters is that they can’t do their job without clogging. William & Mary ichthyologist Laurie Sanderson has a patent pending on a new type of filter that is designed to be ...
