Scientists at Vanderbilt University are using machinery and technology inspired by the carnival food standbys to conquer a persistent problem in making artificial organs – developing working fluid conduits. 
The advantages the sugar spinners offer are many, and include the production of ideal filament size and the ability to churn out foundations for intricate 3D models.
