Fujifilm has introduced a new portable photoprinter Instax Share SP-1. It allows to use iPhone as once popular Polaroid cameras—to make a shot and print it right away. The printer is compact in size, and its photos are a little bit smaller than that of a Polariod—62 x 46 mm against 78 x 79 mm.… Continue reading New Fujifilm Device For Printing From Smartphones
3D printing is actively acquires new areas of our life. Recently Radiological Society of North America has reported that 3D printing technology and computed tomography (CT) scans would be used to print precise copies of fossilized dinosaur bones.
Great need to simplify printing from mobile devices (according to IDC, 90% of smartphone and tablet owners are for it) pushes producers to find means of solving this problem. In this regard, HP took care not only of the buyers of the new printers, but also of its former clients (about 40 mln HP LaserJet… Continue reading HP To Provide Mobile Printing To Millions Of Users
There was a time, when the process of creating a book required much more effort than now. In European monasteries, monks rewrote books by hand, and it could take several years to copy one book. Of course, the progress was achieved with the spreading of woodblock printing. But due to the complication of the process,… Continue reading Breakthrough Technology of the Year 1450: The Printing Press
Though the necessity of printing on a paper has diminished with the expansion of mobile devices, this function is still needed. If a printer has an option of Wi-Fi connection, printing is not a problem for any smartphone. But the bigger part of traditional printers doesn’t have a Wi-Fi, and here the new software can… Continue reading Cloud Printing From Mobile Devices
Symantec has announced the discovery of a new worm, which launches “trash” print jobs. Symantec identifies the worm as W32.Printlove. This malware exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Service Remote Code Execution (CVE 2010-2729), which was discovered back in 2010. The worm behave differently on computers with installed update for CVE 2010-2729 vulnerability and… Continue reading Printer Rabies: Symantec Discouvered Worm Depriving Users Of Paper
Open3DP team at Washington University have been some pretty impressive results: it successfully printed the artificial bone with the help of 3D-printer. The hardest challenge in this case was the choice of material for bone. The experiments for 5 weeks with various mixtures of bone meal with other substances, the research team stopped at one… Continue reading 3D-printer Used For Printing Of Artificial Bones
A team of engineers and the art from the University of Washington has developed a way to create objects made of glass using a conventional 3D-printer. Technique allows the application of new materials with similar devices. The technology is called “vitraglyphic process”. Three-dimensional printers are used as a cheap and easy way for prototyping. In… Continue reading Glass 3D-Printing
American scientists have developed a revolutionary nanotechnology called Beam Lithography Pen. The new method enables fast and inexpensive production of electric circuits prototypes, medical diagnosis and a number of other activities that will surely find application in in electronics, photonics and other natural sciences. Chad Mirkin, Director of the International Institute for Nanotechnology at Northwestern… Continue reading Affordable Nanoprinting Technology Is At Hand
Here it is, the cornucopia. American scientists have developed the concept of food printer called «Cornucopia», which operates by cooling ingredients, mixing them and making layers of them. Using these kayers, a dish is printer on a tray. The concept was presented by two students from the Massachusetts University of Technology (MIT). The process of… Continue reading Out Of Food?
