Inkjet printing is one of the key technologies behind the direct writing revolution, spanning an ever-increasing number of applications. During recent years, print-head technology has turned academic ...

You’ve heard of disappearing ink. Now get ready for suddenly appearing ink. Using a clear liquid, researchers can print a full rainbow of colors on transparent surfaces. The trick is printing the ...

In what sounds like a completely backwards way to resolve some of the many issues with printers, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Chemistry have come up with a way to use ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A few years ago it was discovered that the process of thermal inkjet printing can be applied to fabricate hard tissue scaffolds (such as bones) and, just recently, soft tissue ...

Australian scientists have created ink that can remember vast amounts of information. The memory ink can be printed on to surfaces by an inkjet printer. It may look transparent to the naked eye, but ...

You can add another crazy characteristic to graphene's ever-expanding list of "wonder material" properties: It can now be used to create flexible, transparent thin-film transistors... using an inkjet ...

In an attempt to make printing a little more environmentally friendly, this solid printing concept uses solid inks, removing the need to dispose of plastic ink holders and packaging. The Wax-on ...
