The researchers questioned if the ray’s efficient design could inspire improvements in industrial filters. They fabricated a simple filter and referred to its design as a “leaky channel.” ...

Lead researcher Xinyu Mao notes that this approach "expands the design space of traditional cross-flow filtration." Current industrial cross-flow filters allow water to pass across a membrane ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and the University of Fribourg have developed polymer water ...
