Long-distance cargo ships lose a significant amount of energy due to fluid friction, reports the Phys.org
Looking to the drag reduction mechanisms employed by aquatic life can provide inspiration on how to improve efficiency.
Fish and seaweed secrete a layer of mucus to create a slippery surface, reducing their friction as they travel through water.
A potential way to mimic this is by creating lubricant-infused surfaces covered with cavities.
As the cavities are...

According to an article published in Microsoft, the IT giant tested underwater data centers in ship sized containers and found it to be a sustainable energy source
What is it?Earlier this summer, marine specialists reeled up a shipping-container-size datacenter coated in algae, barnacles and sea anemones from the seafloor off Scotland’s Orkney Islands.
The retrieval launched the final...
