Pumping liquids may seem like a solved problem but optimizing the process is still an area of active research. Any pumping application — from industrial scales to heating systems at home — would benefit from a reduction in energy demands. Researchers now showed how pulsed pumping can reduce both friction from and energy consumption of pumping. For this, they took inspiration from a pumping system intimately familiar to everyone: the human heart.
