The U.S. military asks them to create water filtration technology designed for troops. Global health nonprofits seek technologies from them to help filter safe drinking water in developing countries.

Filtration is a key step in many stages of downstream processing, from product recovery to removal of viral contamination. The last few years have seen many developments in filtration science, ...

Objective: Students will engineer a water filter based on observations of manta ray feeding filters, then test its effectiveness. Topics: Structure and function, adaptation, engineering and design ...

Most water filters work by a sieve principle, in which waterborne particles that are too large to pass through a filtration membrane's pores end up collecting on its surface. The problem is, such ...
