The behavior of suspensions and macromolecular solutions in crossflow microfiltration: an update by Chew, Jia Wei, Kilduff, James, Belfort, Georges

“…Fouling mitigation efforts have focused on high-throughput modification platforms and more energy-efficient unsteady-state shear methods. Finally, membrane modules can be modernized based on the knowledge accumulated to better improve their efficiency, and factoring in important considerations like feed type, mechanical stability, hydrodynamics, economics and application goals.…”

Self-organized canals enable long-range directed material transport in bacterial communities by Li, Ye, Liu, Shiqi, Zhang, Yingdan, Seng, Zi Jing, Xu, Haoran, Yang, Liang, Wu, Yilin

“…Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonies as a model system, we discover that a large-scale and temporally evolving open-channel system spontaneously develops in the colony via shear-induced banding. Fluid flows in the open channels support high-speed (up to 450 µm/s) transport of cells and outer membrane vesicles over centimeters, and help to eradicate colonies of a competing species Staphylococcus aureus. …”
