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 ...

Every load of laundry sends tiny plastic fibers down the drain. These fragments, shed from synthetic fabrics, slip through ...

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 ...

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, ...
