First synthetic ‘mini prion’ shows how protein misfolding multiplies, enabling study of fundamental interactions that underlie neurodegenerative disease.
The Digital Pottery Wheel (DPW, upper left) is a ceramic throwing wheel augmented with a clay 3D printing mechanism and a modular control platform. This mechanism-and-control approach allows the wheel to support standard manual ceramics throwing (upper right), autonomous 3D printing (lower left), and integration of manual manipulation and 3D printing in the same vessel (lower right).
