Manta rays inspire faster swimming robots and better water filters
Briefly

The MIT researchers were inspired by mobula rays for enhancing industrial water filters, focusing on their efficient feeding mechanism that allows both breathing and filtering of plankton.
By mimicking the feeding structures of mobula rays, the team managed to create a filter that selectively allows water while restricting plankton escape, optimizing efficiency for industrial uses.
