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 ...

Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny crustaceans and certain types of coral and krill, to various ...

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 ...
